Equine nutrition has always been controversial. For as many horseman gather in a room, there will be that many opinions about what is best for feeding horses. This is a result of availability and quality of feedstuffs for any given location, and the fact that horses are individuals and need to be treated as such. Then, each horseman has had different experiences on which they base their preferences. For example, I once had a horse choke on beet pulp because I had not soaked it enough. Now, while beet pulp is an excellent filler for hard to keep horses, I chose to not use it. |

Finally you are going to breed your mare. She is due to cycle and you are ready to take her to the stud farm. Or are you? What do you need and what should you expect?
It is the responsibility of the mare owner to present a horse in good health and accompanied by the required health certificates at the stud farm. She needs to have a current coggins, a health certificate from your vet, and up-to-date certification of her vaccinations. Different stud farms also require other documentations; it is best to ask, in plenty of time, what will be required, when making arrangements to bring your mare. |
