We have purchased a farm that has never had horses on it. Therefore, there are no strangles or any other problems living on the property associated with so many breeding farms. If all horses are vaccinated with the above mentioned, then we can control the problems associated with on farm mares during breeding season and reduce the risk for YOUR mare and/or baby. Rest assured that we are very serious about keeping horses healthy and we respectfully request your assistance. This is for the protection and health of your mare, so please abide by these requirements. No mare will be allowed off the trailer without this documentation.

These are the basic services and fees. Certain injections and/or infusions may be required to help settle your mare and insure timely conception. They will be billed accordingly and within industry standards and norms for costs.

These mare care prices are for wet or dry mares. We are in the baby business and love having babies visit our farm. We do not feel comfortable "punishing" you for having babies and supporting our business! So, with that said, bring those babies and mares on down and let us take great care of them for you!
We are certain you will enjoy your P5 experience and our Kentucky hospitality! Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about your mare and/or foal.
