I have questions about ET and eggs. I love the idea of ET. Let us face it. If we can get multiple foals on the ground instead of just one per year. This is...
Brian, ?In people eggs don't "run out".? Humans have all their eggs before they are born.? I don't believe ovulation induction affects the age of menopause and...
I think ET is a wonderful opportunity but I see two problems. Of course the obvious one is having a good ET vet nearby to make it cost effective. In Paso Finos...
I'm a little new to this so maybe I'm missing something here? I'm just trying to understand the big picture... Do list members find that there is an...
Hi again apologies from a colour freak for raising a colour issue - but in answer to the question - Secret Temptation is listed as 'Mismarked - narrow...
I think you are right, there doesn't seem to be a market to support it at this time.? If there is a mare that is competing and one wants to breed her, then I...
Thanks, Stephen! I know all about being a "colour freak"... ;-) I don't know whether it was intentional, but I rank preferences in horses the same way you...
Hello I looked into ET and frozen embryos, and it is a very expensive process with a lower chance of producing a foal. You must have a lot of money and a mare...
I think the success of ET depends on who you use for a vet. My vet started using a vet in MO. She used to do it herself and found it easier to ship the embryo....
Liia What about the costs of leasing the surrogate mare, shipping her back and forth to MO, care of the mare, and the additional DNA fees which is now $88.00 +...
The $2,800 includes the mare lease. It was $800 shipping to Maine and of course you ship her back at weaning or buy her for $1,000. You also have to add up...
Wow Liia that is not a bad deal especially with his conception rate, I'd be interested in a website for that. Draft type would be nice, with shipping that high...
Good information. I know Penny was happy with the surrogate mare, but I wonder with fuel prices these days how much shipping would cost. All depends how far...

Stephen: See ISBN number on other post D.Phillip Sponenberg and Donald E. Bixby Finished most of the book last night. Makes a lot of recommendations with...
Very interesting read. Everyone must remember the book discusses rare domestic animals, and horse breeds are only part of the discussion. There is a reference...
Thank you for clarifying Andy! I surely hope that too much strain didn't come from you saying that! I know I have a mare with a white sock and I haven't heard...
It was wonderful for the breed when the CBHS allowed mismarked purebreds in the main studbook. I have heard many fine horses with very good conformation were...
After receiving Andy's email about closing a "thread" I got to wondering about something... I haven't seen any messages on this list, regarding this thread or...
New Topic I was just corresponding with Dr. Sponenberg about his new book asking questions about grading up and told him about chestnuts and mismarked horses...
