AI, Embryo Transfer, and a Horse for the Grandkids

New territory for us: equine artificial insemination and embryo transfer. We picked up a couple of recip mares to get started — including a young mare we call Fancy, who was in training with Amanda Backlund down in Wynnewood. We ended up leasing the recips from CETS instead, but Amanda did such a great job with Fancy that our son had her start a young mare of his that we'd raised.

She’s taken Sandy over obstacles and down the trails and even carried her first short stirrup rider — right on track to be a great horse for the grandkids someday.

After seemingly hundreds of trips to our repro vet, Stillwater Equine, 2027 is when our breeding program really starts to take shape. Stay tuned! More to come!

Thank you to Amanda Backlund and the girls at Topwind Ranch for putting an amazing start on "Sandy".

Today was day 1 for cowboy mounted shooting.

Warren Picked a good one for the kiddos.
