So, you have a pregnant mare and aren't sure when to order your smart halter so that you can be alerted to foaling? (The short answer: 2 - 4 weeks before you need to be alerted.)
Breeding is a major facet of the equine industry and our team is motivated to continually bring more value to breeders - professional operations and horse owners alike!
Breeding a mare is no walk in the park - it takes a lot of planning, time, and finances. Today we hear from an actual mare owner and her experience throughout the breeding process.
There are two parties in the breeding world, ones that support the breeding method of foal heat and ones who do not. Let's weigh our options are mare owners.
