I hope this is the right forum to put this in,correct me if I am wrong!
I am sending a mare up to Lexington to be bred and I am looking for a farm that does mare care.
I am freaking out a little because I keep hearing these horror stories.
So looking for a place with good care,lots of turnout.
The mare I am sending can have an attitude if she is treated the wrong way.
I have only bred locally before,so I need help!
Thanks for any suggestions.

A suggestion
You are right to be careful. I lost a Grade I producing mare in Kentucky a few years back.
I am currently using Hidden Brook in Paris. I have two there now. They came well recommended to me two years ago and I sent a mare who came back in foal and looking great. Sergio de Souza is the farm manager and he communicates frequently with clients as events progress. A bit pricey at $32/day but cheap if things go well.
Good Luck.

Mare Care
We have our mare and her foal from last year at Overbrook Farm in the excellent care of Quentin and Mark Wharton. It's a huge farm....much of it not being used. Storm Cat is retired there. I think it's $29/day. Very happy with their care.

Any suggestions on Vet care in Lex? I've had some bad experiences.

Re: Mare Care In Lexington
For repro work, I prefer Rood and Riddle and have had experience with both the out-patient and the clinic. Hagyard has also provided good professional service as well.
