Take the stress out of foaling down your mare by having it all taken care of for you with experienced hands.Mares are individually paddocked and monitored with CCTV cameras along with the use of a foal alarm. Mares are assisted where needed during the foaling process and monitored until all milestones have been achieved. The mare will be milked initially for the colostrum quality to be tested, and the foal will receive a bottle prior to standing up. We have a supply of frozen colostrum ready for cases of low colostrum quality. On-site IgG testing allows for timely results which is especially helpful with weekends and public holidays All mares coming for foaling down must have received the full course of pneumabort-K (herpes) vaccinations at 5, 7 and 9 months gestation, in addition to a tetanus booster 4 weeks prior to her due date. To ensure sufficient time for antibody production for the new environment we advise delivering your mare here approximately 4 weeks prior to her due date. Foal handling is available for mares staying here longer for return breeding services. Please get in touch to book your mare in. Foaling down bookings are being taken for due dates in November through to start of February.
