REPRODUCTION
Farmington Equine Services can assist you in getting your mare in foal to the stallion of your choice. Our ambulatory service can assist you with mares that are stabled in our surrounding service area, and we offer boarding for mares that are normally stabled outside our service area. Rectal palpations and ultrasound examinations are used to determine an approximate time of ovulation and to aid in the timing of a mating. We offer semen pck-ups from area breeding farms, and we can have cooled semen shipped to us if the stalionof your choice is out of our area. Our goal is your goal, to have your mare in foal to the stallion of your choice.
FOALING
We accept mares for foal delivery from March through November, with mares being accepted in other months if we have sufficient staff to care for them. We use the Foalert monitering system. This system has a transmittor that is sutured to the mare's vulvae. When the foal or the membrane sac protrudes and spresds the vulvae sufficiently to open the transmittor, a signal is sent to the receiver in the office. The receiver phones us to notify us that a mres is in labor. An alarm also sounds in the office to notify any one that is present. we have used this system since 2000, and we believe it to be the best foal monitering system available.
