We can advise on and help care for stud stallions and pregnant mares.

Pregnancy checks - when should they be done?

Pregnancy loss without any overt signs is not at all uncommon and therefore failure to return to heat after covering cannot be taken as confirmation that the mare is in foal or has maintained her pregnancy.

It is essential that mares receive one or more veterinary examinations for pregnancy, usually by ultrasound scanning.
