http://www.horsemart.co.uk Horsemart meet the team from
Pelion Stud to find out all you need to know about breeding.For more info http://www.pelionstud.co.uk Pelion Stud consists of 50 boxes separated into: a DEFRA approved semen collection and export centre: this dedicated barn houses our resident stallions, those staying for a month or more, or stallions sent to us to have their semen frozen for international export. The unit totally self contained for safety and quarantine purposes. Stallions have their own entrance to the arena, and a special turn-out area which contains three 18x18m pens; double-fenced with 6ft, 4 rail fencing. The Visiting Stallions Barn: housing stallions who are here for walk-in collections, and those staying for 4 weeks or less, or those visiting for semen freezing for UK use. The Mare AI & ET Unit: housing mares who are in for artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET). And the Foaling Unit: which consists of two large foaling boxes with a sitting up room in between.

Our semen collection area is fully rubber matted, with a high quality dummy mare designed and manufactured in the United States. We also have a teasing wall which we have found is the safest and easiest option for when a teaser mare is required. Leading straight out from the back of the collection area is our semen analysis, processing and storage unit. Semen samples can then be carefully analysed using our big screen videomicroscopy system, and are then processed by experienced technicians using the latest techniques and best equipment available.

The mare AI unit also includes custom-built stocks to keep even the most tense or worried mares happy and relaxed, while maintaining safety levels for our vets and AI technicians. We also have embryo flushing and transfer facilities. We had excellent success rates in 2009, with around 80% of flushes yielding at least one embryo, and 75% of transferred embryos producing sound pregnancies in recipient mares.

In addition to our breeding facilities, we also have a fully rubbered hot water wash bay with power shower, a solarium, 60mx20m all weather arena, lunge pen, horse walker, and over 100 acres of turn-out. We also have a large car park and facilities for lorries to hook up to a power supply when required.
We live on site, and so are able to give 24 hour supervision when required.
