We are ready to go again! The first two mares of the season are in the foaling paddock and more arriving every day.

We have started scanning dry TB mares and most are already cycling. We should have a few lined up ready to be bred the first week of September. Bring it on!

Ps: if you haven’t sent your foaling contract back, please send it in ASAP 🙂

Attention Thoroughbred breeders! We foal TB’s, set up to breed and walk mares out to stallions.

This season Cambridge Stud are kindly offering a 50% travel rebate for mares walking out to their stallions from our property.

I spent many years as a vet on stud farms and really enjoy the connection to the TB industry that we have at EVRC.

Enquire now to book, numbers limited to allow us to provide the gold standard service that we strive for.

Bookings for breeding are flowing in steadily! Here are two reasons to book your mares in now:

1. We take limited numbers to allow us to provide a top notch service to the horses in our care and their owners.
2. We have a number of frozen semen orders lined up and will arrange a shared shipment prior to the start of the breeding season to help save shipping costs. Let us know if you’d like to add an order.

Looking forward to another successful season about to kick off!

FOALING BOOKING REMINDER

We appear to be in for a busier season than ever with lots of foalings booked in already!

If you have enquired but not returned your paperwork yet please get back to us as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.

If you are yet to book, there are a few spaces left, but we are filling up fast and cap our numbers to ensure we can provide the gold standard mare, foal and customer care that we strive for.

Bring on the 2025 babies!

Last week I had the privilege of attending the annual Equine stream of the NZVA conference in my capacity as President of the Equine Branch of the NZVA.

Giving back to the profession is a passion and has afforded me amazing opportunities, it’s something I really love.

This years conference in Wellington involved moderating sessions, running our AGM, acting as MC for the awards dinner and lots of super productive meetings. Time well spent, capped off with great catch ups with old friends and meeting new colleagues-one of the best parts of the industry.

The veterinary profession is a rewarding one and one that I truly love.

"Remi" has inherited the highly regarded temperament of his sire Secret and is a pleasure to work with and ride. He is a modern type with excellent conformation and paces. His canter is outstanding.

An inspiring, fun few days last week at EquiBreed ART upskilling in O**m Pick Up (OPU).

We are excited to be able to offer this technology and breeding option to clients in the lower North Island, meaning eggs can be collected and shipped at any time of the year for ICSI, and embryos frozen and returned to us for transfer into recipient mares in the spring!
