Covering conditions and prices 2024
By agreeing to this contract, the mare owner guarantees that the mare/foal, or other horses that has been in contact with the mare/foal, have not shown or show signs of infectious diseases in the last 6 weeks. The mare owner guarantees that the mare/foal has not had strangles (Druse) or been in contact with infected horses for the past 3 months.
Upon arrival:
- The mare must meet without hind shoes.
- The mare is vaccinated and the passport is delivered to Stald Gavnholt.
- If the mare has eczema, bring the eczema blanket.
- The mare must have a swab-test. If the mare is unclean on the swab-test it is possible to have her treated here. Contact us for further agreement.
- The mare must have performed a negative CEM-test (PCR from sinus clitoridis, fossa clitoridis, cervix uteri) before arrival. NOTE! If the mare has tested positive for CEM, she should be treated at home, and may only come to the stallion after she has a negative CEM test, taken no earlier than 7 days after the last treatment. Documentation from the vet and test result must be presented to the stallion owner. It is possible to get fresh semen from all our stallions, and it could be an option to get the mare inseminated at home, to not lose the opportunity to get the mare pregnant despite CEM. Contact us for more information.
Fresh semen: There is no requirement for a swab- or CEM-test if the mare owner chooses to pick up fresh semen. But we strongly recommend that everyone act responsibly and get their mares tested for CEM, as this has proven to be a widespread and highly contagious disease among Icelandic horses.
