 Canadian overnight shipments to most areas
 Hamilton Equitainers strictly used

 Two or three doses provided when available
  Professional evaluation, processing & packaging of semen

TOP

 

SEMEN   REQUEST   PROTOCOL
 Every attempt is made to have semen available when needed
due to the unpredictable nature of mare's cycles
 Frequently extra semen is processed and saved,
in the event it may be needed for later shipment that day
 Notification of when mare first comes into heat
allows planning & preparation
 24 hours advance notice to schedule transport of semen is appreciated
 Less than 12 hours notice lessens opportunity to have semen available

and may entail a courier fee
 "Might need semen" is not considered a request for shipment
 Semen will not be shipped

unless attending vet has determined that ovulation is eminent within 72 hours
 Breeding on transitional heat is inefficient and costly
it's best to make sure mares are cycling regularly
