• Birth Alert

We use a high tech monitoring system that begins with the Birth Alert System. A micro computer in a sponge tampon is inserted in the vaginal canal of each mare when they are close to foaling. As the mare goes into labor, the micro computer is expelled and the drop in temperature activates either an alert in the barn, a beeper that is with us at all times, or contacts us by phone.

• Breeder Alert 

As a back-up system, we use the Breeder Alert System. This consists of a transmitter on the mare's halter which activates a beeper when the mare lies down flat (as she would while foaling).

• Audio/Visual Monitoring

Round-the-clock coverage is provided by a dual monitoring system that uses both sound and video systems to keep watch over the entire foaling barn. Because the system is non-intrusive, it allows a more relaxed, private atmosphere for the mares without sacrificing reaction time should an emergency arise.
