• Should any medical emergencies arise, we have a full complement of diagnostic, surgical and medical equipment within steps of the foaling stalls.
Pre-Foaling Monitoring and Maintenance
• We offer individual attention regarding feeding and special needs for your mare, whether it be feed supplements, medications or an injury or lameness that needs tending to.
• 24 hour video monitoring is available so we’re able to observe your mare without disturbing her.
