Most
horse breeders and veterinarians agree that the best safeguard against
losing a foal, and possibly a broodmare, is to have someone present when
an expectant mare delivers. You never know when a slight
difficulty during foal delivery may develop
into a very serious or fatal condition, unless assistance is given at a
critical moment. In some cases, simply being there to break the
sack will save the life of a foal. Statistics show that 80 percent
of mares foal between 11 pm and 3 am. Therefore, having someone
available at night is particularly important. However, most farms
do not employ full time foaling attendants or night watchmen, and
breeders spend many sleepless nights watching and waiting for a foal to
arrive. Using the experience and knowledge we gained from operating
our own foaling facility for over 10
years (see about us), we developed our state-of-the-art foaling alarms
EquiPage
and
EquiFone
to act as your night watchman, and to provide
around
the clock surveillance of your expectant broodmares. For detailed information, click the
