How Can We Have THAT Many Babies? | Breeding Horses 101
We’re walking through a full breeding day on the farm — from cyst tracking and follicle checks to timing ovulation and prepping for embryo transfer.
This episode gives a real-time look at what it takes to manage mares during breeding season. With multiple ultrasounds, mid-cycle strategy shifts, and a few surprises (including sedation drama), it’s a behind-the-scenes view into the level of care and planning that goes into getting a mare in foal.
Whether you're learning about mare management, planning a flush, or just love the rhythm of barn life — this one delivers.
