Day in the Life of Our Vet: Breeding Season Edition

It’s breeding season, which means long hours, late nights, and a whole lot of vet checks. In this video, our amazing veterinarian checks one mare to see if she’s sound to breed, tracks ovulation, and performs pregnancy checks on a few others.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at what a Day in the Life of our equine vet looks like during breeding season—and just how much precision goes into every future foal.

Can Sophie not carry her own baby or are you just wanting more than one embryo from her this year?

[ReformedTryHard]

How do you determine which mares carry their own babies, which use a recip, and how do you pick the recips?

[faithlove]

Omg I would hate to have your vet bills

[LauraFunFunFloweries]

I wonder if animals who get, AI, wonder how they're now, pregnant, since they didn't have, smexy time w/ a, Stallion, lol; please tell me others have wondered that, too? 😅

[sambooth]

Oh i missed getting Opal ..whats the story anyone ? X

[annehatter]

I notice that sometimes the crossties are clipped to the cheek rings of the halter instead of the nose rings. Is there a certain reason 🤔

[MBMCincy]

Is it for the safety of the horses, that natural breeding is not allowed?

[heatherlittlefield]

I don’t remember what her stallion Denver looks like. I know vs code red and his brother Cody (I think that’s his name).

[raidembealinaiswe]

Why doesn't Sophie carry her baby?

[TannyYem]

Why not just let them have baby natural way?

[StacyDonchey]

Does the semen need to defrost before you use it and if so how long?

[lesleybarker]

For the love of money you are over breeding
