I’ve been sharing a bit of the behind the scenes on our instagram Breeding Highlight, but as we get closer to foaling dates I thought it would be even more helpful to share some of the educational articles I’ve found most useful. I like to research my pursuits and believe education should be constant, so I’m excited to share some of the principles our program focuses on.
I’d also like to say that we have just the best Repro team I could hope for, and I wouldn’t have started this journey without them. Having talented specially trained reproductive vets are just so critical both to mare and foal health but also making sure precious breedings go well! We’re ever so grateful to Dr Fullana and Dr Rogers at Harbour Ridge Equine as well as the recipient herd team at Peterson and Smith.
So with that, I invite you to come along for the ride! Enjoy the educational articles I’ll post here on the Copper Light Blog in the Breeding Category (Found below), stay up to date with our instagram and with our Foal Page for all planned breedings!
