Does my mare have to be examined by a vet before starting breeding?

Elite Dressage Stallions
We do not require you to do this. However, we would strongly recommend that you do because your vet will be able to assess whether there are any potential problems, and treat any conditions that may prevent your mare getting in foal. This can save you a lot of money, time and disappointment.
