Broodmare Management
Broodmare Management
Preparation of your mare for service; monitoring stage of cycle, control of the uterine environment prior to and after service to optimize her chances of conception.
We specialize in equine Artificial Insemination, using Chilled or Frozen semen to the available stallion of your choice.
Foaling Down
Foaling Down
Supervised foaling of the mare and post-foaling monitoring of the newborn foal for normal developmental markers.
Mares are foaled under alarm in our dedicated foaling area. Specialized Veterinary support is on call, and or team is experienced in foaling management.
Weaning & Handling
Weaning & Handling
Our weaning program seeks to minimize stress to both the mare and her foal. Importance is given to the development of confidence and trust in the foal of the handler during the weaning process.
At the end of the handling program the weanling should willingly lead, tie up and have it's legs and feet handled.
Broodmare Agistment
Why send your mare to stud?
Broodmare Agistment
Why send your mare to stud?
The advantage of sending your mare to a stud is the increased likelihood of a healthy foal on the ground and/or a pregnant mare at the end of the season!
We invest much time and effort in developing and reviewing the skills required to maintain a high pregnancy rate on farm. We maintain a close working relationship with our local veterinary team (Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital) and so have expert help just around the corner when required. Mares are moved and handled so as to reduce stress (happy mares go in foal easier!)
Most Standardbred Studs will offer a stud farm 20% discount on their Stallion Service Fees - book your mare in under our stud banner to take advantage of this significant reduction in service fee.

Resident Mares
Resident Mares
Resident mares live year round with us on farm. Mares are kept in social groups and closely monitored for good health and well being.
Seasonal Mares
Seasonal Mares
Seasonal mares are those mares that come onto our farm for the breeding season only and then return home.
We recommend in foal mares arrive on farm 4 weeks prior to the expected foaling date - that allows a window of safety for travel of heavily expectant mares, but also allows the mare to develop antibodies specific to the foaling environment which she will pass on to her foal through her colostrum (first milk).
Breeding season kicks off for us at the start of September (when the Stallions start shipping) so empty mares may arrive to correspond with the season opening. It is worth keeping in mind however, not all mares will be cycling in this month while most mares will be underway during October as the daylight lengthens.
