When to bring your mare in for breeding work
The question of when to set up an initial appointment for a reproductive evaluation and subsequent monitoring of the estrous cycle of a mare depends on several factors.
Putting a mare under lights
Housing mares under lights will stimulate the mare to develop follicles and ovulate earlier in the year than mares maintained under natural or light conditions.
Stallion Reproductive Evaluation
A reproductive evaluation, often termed a breeding soundness examination, may be performed to: 1) estimate future reproductive potential of a stallion, 2) provide a routine evaluation prior to purchase, or 3) determine cause(s) of poor reproductive performance.

Equine viral arteritis is a contagious disease of equids caused by equine arteritis virus.
Mare Reproductive Evaluation
The goal of a mare reproductive evaluation or breeding soundness examination is to identify known or potential reproductive abnormalities and to evaluate the potential for a mare to become pregnant and carry a foal successfully to term.
