We are surrounded by wide open spaces and the tranquil Santa Rosa Plateau. Our unique geographic location welcomes you to our spectacular facility for first class assisted breeding and foaling services. We also offer some Mobile Semen Freezing Services, we come to you !!!
Artificial Insemination
 Artificial Insemination is available for your mare using fresh, cooled or frozen shipped in or store at our facility semen. Our Mare Services include a mare breeding soundness exam, teasing and ultrasounds. Over the years we credit our high success rate with insemination down to our knowledge of charting a mares progress through the breeding cycle and the use of ultra sound to find the optimum time period to inseminate.
In a process where timing is everything, we are available to breed anytime, 7 days a week, we operate on the horses schedule whether it's weekday or weekend, day or night and our first time success rate is second to none. We can also provide in house horse transport services or airport pick up of shipped semen if needed, we are conveniently located close to Ontario, CA (ONT) and San Diego (SAN) international airports.
Embryo Transfer
We offer Embryo Transfer (ET) an established reproductive technology that involves the collection of an embryo (or embryos) from a donor mare. The embryo (or embryos) are transferred into a recipient or surrogate mare where a pregnancy can be established and maintained resulting in the birth of live offspring.
We can help in the location of surrogate mares if needed and our program offers complete coordination of the donor and recipient mares.
we operate an on site lab utilizing new technologies to ensure optimum breeding results. Our experienced staff and attention to detail are key to our great success rates with ET and with our advance cryopreservation techniques, we are able to freeze an embryo for later use or shipment.
Frozen Semen and Embryo Storage (Cryopreservation)
 State of the art cryopreservation offers a more convenient way for stallion owners to offer breading by having the semen frozen and stored. The process includes semen being placed in straws and frozen with Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) in a controlled process. The semen straws are then stored in specially designed Liquid Nitrogen tanks (dewars). The semen is then ready to use or ship the exact moment a mare is ready to breed without the rush of last minute collections, a real benefit to horses during show season. In the event of a Stallion's death or injury, frozen semen would then be available to carry on bloodlines.
 Some of our basic services include, Freeze evaluations, Semen and Embryo Freezing and Storage. In addition to just storing frozen semen we offer Frozen Semen Processing and Shipping. The owner of frozen semen stored with us would simply notify us that a request has been made, we can then take care of processing the frozen semen for shipping in a Dry Vapor Shipper and sending it to the mare owner. We also offer storage for frozen semen transferred from or collected at other locations and facilities, and provide Liquid Nitrogen tank management. Stallion owners able to collect their own stallions maybe able to bring cooled semen to us for freezing, conditions apply so please check with us for details.
Our Frozen semen and embryo storage tanks are closely monitored to maintain Liquid Nitrogen levels, tanks are charted and maintained by our own staff, extra tanks and a supply of Liquid Nitrogen is kept on site in case a tank transfer is needed.

Assisted Foaling
Our barn includes a larger foaling stalls with 32' x 32' x 16 wide L shaped outside corrals. 
Our stalls provide a safe & comfortable environment for your mare during foaling, our skilled foaling attendants also monitor our camera system providing 24 hour a day security & care for your horse to ensure the safest foaling possible.
Safe pastures or stalls are provided for mares until they are ready to foal, then the mare is moved to a large foaling stall with cameras, this way we can monitor the foaling process without having to disturb the mare during this vital time. The mares halter is equipped with a foal alert system that also sends out a page if she lies down to give birth, be assured that we are watching your Mare 24/7 and together with the cameras system we are able to watch her every move in case any assistance is needed and provide whatever care is necessary.
We can give care during and once the foal is born, including proper positioning of the foal, monitoring the birth, we also disinfect the umbilical cord, monitor the placenta and give support to the foal including enema's as needed, the foal is monitored for its ability to stand, suckle, urinate, and defecate. All foals born our facility receive a Vet Check by a Licensed Veterinarian and each foal is given the appropriate vaccines as required.
Foaling Process
 Each stall has interior access and an exterior door leading to individual turnout.
With owner�s consent, each mare is offered daily turnout until they are ready to foal. We feel exercise for the expectant mare is very important to help prevent edema (swelling in the limbs) and prepare for proper positioning of the foal, as well as a healthy state of mind. We offer individual attention regarding feeding and special needs for your mare, whether it be feed supplements, medications or an injury or lameness that needs tending to.
Mares are observed closely for body & attitude changes, and we keep detailed notes on her progress & habits, so you may use this information for foaling in the future.
24 hour discreet video monitoring is provided, so we are able to monitor your mare without disturbing her.
Attended delivery by experienced professionals.
Umbilical cord care (navel dip immediately after birth).
On-call veterinary assistance is available if required.
After each foaling, all of the following must have taken place before we consider it a successful foaling: The foal must be able to stand, nurse on it�s own and have passed it�s meconium. The mare must have successfully passed the placenta and be up on her feet & comfortable with all contractions ceased.
After Foaling Follow-Up
Mare only or Mare and foal veterinary exam.
Umbilical cord care (repeated dips over the next several days).
Daily handling & imprinting of the foal.
Individual turnout if your mare & foal stay with us for an extended period of time.
Rebreeding Options
Should you choose to rebreed you mare via shipped semen, you are welcome to leave her at our facility until she is rebred.
Stringent communication is maintained between our facility, the stallion owner and mare owner to allow for a successful rebreeding at a reasonable cost to the mare owner.
Mare Requirements
Current year, or recent (within the last 6 months) negative Coggins test.
Vaccination record.
Deworming record.
 When to Bring Your Mare
Ideally, it is recommended mares arrive about 30 days prior to foaling. This allows your mare to get acclimated to her new surroundings and to produce antibodies against the microorganisms from the new environment, and subsequently, to pass these to the foal in the colostrum.
Upon a successful delivery, your mare & foal should be able to travel home within a few days of birth.
We offer foal imprinting & daily foal handling in a low stress environment where mare & foal are turned out in pasture, and we also have a pasture for the weanlings where the young horses can play together.
Please email or give us a call for more information on how our we can take the stress out of breeding for you and your horse.
