STUD WORK

We offer a complete reproductive service to established studs and private individuals considering breeding from their own horse or pony. With our expert team you can be assured of the highest standard of care throughout the breeding season and beyond.

Led by Hannah Duncan BVMS MRCVS our vets are all highly trained in the physiology of reproductive cycles. The ability to manipulate the mare’s cycle helps to achieve a high positive pregnancy success rate.
