  • Semen requests Must be made by 12 noon to ensure next day delivery. Any requests made after this time may result in the unavailability of semen. Please ensure your vet is aware when arranging scanning times for your mare, that we cannot guarantee next day semen delivery if your order is placed after 12 noon, this may result in wasted vet fees when your mare ovulates before the semen arrives! Please keep us updated on your mares progress when she is in season, as we then have an idea when you will need the semen. There is nothing worse than ringing up at 3.30 pm requesting semen when the stallion has just served naturally and the post has already gone! Trust us this does happen!
