Upon the clients request it is possible (from 45 days of pregnancy) that the recipient mare stays for the follow up of the pregnancy and the birth process, and this until weaning of the foal.
From 45 days of gestation the pregnant recipient mares are placed on the pasture until the end of summer. Two months before the expected parturition date they are placed in individual pens, and from two weeks before the parturition they are under permanent surveillance. This is done through camera surveillance and foaling alarm (dutch). Once the foal is old enough, the surrogate mother and her foal go together on the pasture.
If desired, clients can bring their mare for the parturition under strictly controlled circumstances to K.I. Hof Ter Leeuwe. It is important to reserve a place in time for the parturition. The pregnant mare should come to our center three weeks before the calculated parturition date.
