Breaking News! Hailee inseminated over Mother's Day Weekend!


Well, we've been monitoring Hailee's progress closely and she received a Prestin shot last weekend. Dr. Burns has visited her every day since then and palpated and ultrasounded. On Thursday, she developed a 25 mm follicle! So, we ordered a shipment of Hootie semen for delivery and on Saturday morning it arrived. She was inseminated both Saturday and on Mother's Day!!! And the vet said that on Saturday, her follicle was all soft and by Sunday it had disappeared, so he is confident she ovulated. We are hoping for the best. I am happy to have such a beautiful mare.
