The centre consists of 50 boxes for the The Mare AI & ET Unit: housing mares who are in for artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET). And the Foaling Unit: which consists of two large foaling boxes with a sitting up room in between.
The mare AI unit also includes custom-built stocks to keep even the most tense or worried mares happy and relaxed, while maintaining safety levels for our vets and AI technicians. We also have embryo flushing and transfer facilities. We had excellent success rates in 2009, with around 80% of flushes yielding at least one embryo, and 75% of transferred embryos producing sound pregnancies in recipient mares.
In addition to our breeding facilities, we also have a fully rubbered hot water wash bay with power shower, a solarium, 60mx20m all weather arena, lunge pen, horse walker, and over 100 acres of turn-out. We also have a large car park and facilities for lorries to hook up to a power supply when required.
We live on site, and so are able to give 24 hour supervision when required.
