Mare and foal care

Mare Meadows specializes in managing the cycle of breeding, pregnancy confirmation, pre-and post-natal care and nutrition, and all the related issues of raising healthy, sound racing and performance prospects.  Young stock are segregated by age and sex, and kept in large paddocks where they can socialize with their peers and develop strong heart, wind, muscle, and bone. All babies are regularly handled and regularly reviewed by our veterinarian and farrier.

Foaling is carefully supervised. Mare Meadows has 15,  large 12' x 20' foaling stalls, with TV cameras and monitoring stations in both the farm manager's and foaling manager's bedrooms in their homes on the farm. Expectant mothers also wear electronic foaling alert collars.
