Interested in breeding your mare but the stallion you’ve chosen is hundreds or even thousands of miles away? No problem. We regularly receive cooled semen shipped overnight or frozen semen from across the country, allowing your mare to be bred at the optimal time in her cycle for the best chance of success.

In general, semen cells remain viable for up to 48 hours after collection for cooled semen or essentially indefinite for frozen semen this gives your breeding program flexibility without compromising timing.

Vaccination plays an important role in protecting both the mare and her developing foal. In general:
• Pre-breeding: Mares should be up to date on core vaccines before pregnancy
• 5th, 7th & 9th months: EHV-1 (Rhino) boosters are commonly administered to help reduce the risk of abortion
• 4–6 weeks before foaling: Core vaccines (Eastern/Western Encephalitis, Tetanus, West Nile, and Rabies) are typically boosted to provide protective antibodies to the foal through colostrum

Every mare is different, as your veterinarians we tailor a program specific to her needs and risk factors.

Breeding Client Reminder: Now is the time to begin placing your mares under lights if you plan to start breeding early in 2026.

This light program involves placing a 100–200 watt light bulb in a 12’ x 12’ box stall to achieve approximately 10 foot-candles of light. Mares should be kept in the stall during the evening, with the light turned on at dusk and off around 11 PM, allowing for 8 hours of darkness. This helps stimulate cycling earlier in the year and supports timely breeding.

Lameness Exam with Dr. Gallina! A lameness exam helps identify the source of discomfort or irregular movement in your horse.

During an exam, Dr. Gallina evaluates the horse’s movement at different gaits, performs flexion tests, and may use nerve or joint blocks to pinpoint the problem area. When needed, digital radiographs or ultrasound provide even more detail.

These thorough evaluations help us create accurate treatment plans—keeping your horse comfortable, sound, and performing at their best. 💪🩺

How do you know your mare is in heat? Whether you’re planning to breed or just noticing changes in behavior, understanding the signs of estrus (or “heat”) is important!

Common signs include:
• Frequent urination
• Tail raising & squatting
• Vulvar “winking”
• Squealing or increased vocalization
• Irritability, anxiousness, or being more buddy sour

Each mare is unique, but these signs are good indicators her cycle is active.
