Happy Friday! Here's some friendly reminders for mare owners

04/04/2025

Due to the increasing prevalence of disease outbreak reports, we are requesting that owners have their mares vaccinated prior to arrival at the clinic.

In light the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing tariff situation, we are asking breeding clients to let us know what semen you plan to bring up ASAP and we will try our best to get that semen brought up before any extra charges are enforced. We realize that as of today, there are no tariffs but that can change on a daily basis. Please share this post to get the word out there. If you have any questions, please call the office at 403-341-3875. Here are the links for the 2025 breeding season.

If you are going to be doing ICSI aspirations this spring, now is the time to start getting your mares monitored by ultrasound. The spring transition is one of the best times to aspirate as mares have the most follicles of anytime in the season. Weekly ultrasound counts of follicles and follicle sizes can pinpoint the best time to do the procedure and recover the most oocytes!

Just a note to clarify…. Currently there are NO TARIFFS on live horses or equine semen from the US. Our Canadian government would have to place a tariff on these products in order to have a monetary penalty applied to Canadians.

The weather out there reminded us that our frozen semen shipments are now happening! So here's a few things that you can do to ease the stress of the breeding season if you have a FROZEN SEMEN contract.

Have a look at our 2025 Host Stallion line up so far!

ICSI season is approaching rapidly. As mares approach the spring transition cycle (first heat), they will throw up the largest quantity of follicles and potentially the largest haul of oocytes of the year. This occurs in mid to late March through mid April. Regular scans and reporting to the clinic on numbers and sizes of follicles helps us book mares for aspiration sessions. If you are looking at this procedure for your mare, please contact the clinic for information

Conrad was a good man and a true friend to the horse. The equine community has lost another great veterinarian.

It is with heavy hearts we share the news of Conrad’s passing on January 20, 2025.

Conrad was the heart of Momentum, and this practice would not be what it is today without his vision, hard work and leadership.

Above all else, he was an exceptional dad and husband, and our support continues to be with the Wilgenbusch family during this difficult time.

Thank you for your support and patience as we navigate this season.

Service details to follow.
