year_round_care

We are very pleased with our broodmare program.  We offer year around mare care with all the extras.  Mares are turned out in grass pastures, grain fed twice daily, and we free feed area grown alfalfa.

These mares are trimmed or shod as needed by our on grounds farrier.   Our health procedures include yearly dental checks, de-worming every 90 days, and routine vaccines.  Mares are checked three times daily by our staff, and at feeding times by the feeding crew.

Mares with special needs are kept close to the lower barn where they can be watched.  Occasionally mares do not get along with others, these mares are taken from that pasture and places with other mares or put up in a single pen.

When it is within one month of foaling we will bring your mare into the “waiting for delivery” paddocks where the mare can be watched closely until she is ready for foaling, a that time she will be moved to the foaling barn where she will be monitored 24 hours a day until birthing.  After she has had her foal we will examine the foal, provide post-birthing care for both mare and foal, have it checked by our veterinary, and when they are ready move them to the “nursery” hotel we have designed for mares with foals.  Here we can keep a close watch on the mare and prepare the mare for breeding.
