Comprehensive purchase evaluations include cardiovascular, ocular, and musculoskeletal assessments tailored to each horse's discipline. We utilize on-site radiography and ultrasound to provide predictive health analysis, ensuring informed investment decisions for breeding stock and performance horses through objective, bias-free reporting.

Our services include artificial insemination, estrus cycle management, and treatment for uterine infections, supported by advanced techniques like deep horn insemination and neonatal health monitoring.
