General | Mon 11 February, 2013

Broodmare agistment, foaling down and weaning is all provided by our team at Bellebrook Performance Horses. With years of experience in all aspects of horses, we provide top quality of care to all types of equine athletes. Our facilities are of high quality and so you are ensured that your horse is as safe as can be. As this is not a large business, each horse will get the attention it needs and so the young horses will have a great start to life. We believe that being well handled, well mannered and confident around people is highly important to a horses start, after all no one wants a phone call saying their prize racehorse has gotten loose. Please read further for a list of services and prices. Broodmare agistment: This is in a shared paddock with automatic water trough, plenty of grass for grazing, space for exercise and shade. Mares will be fed twice daily. Dry mare: $ 20.00 per day. Wet mare: $25.00 per day. Foaling down: We are highly experienced in all aspects of breeding. Close to her due date, the mare will be closely monitored and separated. Test kits are used to provide a rough time for foaling, so she will be watched at this time. This is $360.00 and does not include veterinary expenses. Weaning and initial handling: When weaned, the foal will be halter broken and taught to tie up, pick its feet up, rugged and float trained. Doing this at a younger age increases their acceptance and also reduces the risk of injury to both themselves and the handlers. This is $30 per day and will take 8 weeks.
