Reproducing results
The clinic has an impressive array of reproduction services, from artificial insemination to embryo transplants.
“Ninety percent of the reproduction we do around here is with warm bloods ... sport horses,” said Paul Diehl, another vet at the clinic. “Middleburg is a huge area for that.”
Diehl said that the business has changed with the times, reflecting the realities of the marketplace.
“When thoroughbreds declined, I three-day] eventers came in,” he said. “The business has evolved. Now there are a lot of thoroughbreds that are being bred to warm bloods.”
A client with a good mare can get more use out of her now than in earlier times, Diehl explained.
“We’re able to offer embryo transplant,” he said. “The mare comes here, is bred, and at day six or seven, the embryo is flushed out of her and the embryo is shipped out and implanted in another mare in Texas or Oklahoma. It’s pretty common out there. There is one place where they have 450 surrogate mares. Another has 275. Then the mare can be bred again, and we can go through the same process. That way one mare can have three or four foals m one vear.”
