How do I know if my mare needs a reproductive exam?

A reproductive exam is recommended for mares that are being considered for breeding, have a history of reproductive difficulties, have failed to conceive after one or more breeding attempts, or have not been evaluated recently. It's also a useful baseline tool for mares entering a new breeding season. The exam allows our veterinary team to assess uterine health, ovarian function, and reproductive tract conformation—giving you a clear picture of your mare's reproductive status before committing to a breeding program.

What is involved in a mare reproductive exam?
A reproductive exam typically includes a rectal palpation and ultrasound evaluation of the ovaries and uterus to assess follicular activity, uterine health, and overall reproductive tract condition. We will also evaluate the cervix and vulvar conformation. Prior to breeding, we routinely take a uterine culture and uterine cytology to rule out infection. In mares having difficulty conceiving, a uterine biopsy may be taken. The information gathered during the exam guides breeding timing recommendations and helps identify any conditions that may need to be addressed before or during the breeding process.

Do you offer artificial insemination for horses?

Yes. We provide artificial insemination services as part of our equine reproductive care offerings. Artificial insemination can be an effective option for mares where natural cover is not possible or preferred, and our team can work with you on timing and coordination to support the best possible outcome. If you're considering AI for your mare, contact our clinic to discuss the process and determine whether it's the right approach for your breeding goals.

What breeds of horses does Dr. Wise have experience working with reproductively?

Dr. Wise has extensive experience working with Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, and Standardbreds—three of the most common breeds managed in this region. Her background includes hands-on reproductive work across a variety of performance and farm horse contexts, giving her practical familiarity with the breeding management needs and expectations specific to these breeds.

Can you provide reproductive care for sheep and goats as well?

Yes. In addition to equine reproductive services, we provide reproductive exams and related care for sheep and goats. Whether you're managing a breeding program for your flock or herd or have concerns about an individual animal's reproductive health, our team can help. Contact our Coshocton clinic to discuss your specific needs and schedule an evaluation.

Do you offer on-farm reproductive services, or does my horse need to come to your clinic?

We offer both options. Many reproductive procedures can be performed at our clinic at 23921 Airport Rd in Coshocton, and haul-in services are available for horse owners who prefer that approach. We also provide ambulatory farm call services throughout Coshocton County, Holmes County, and parts of Tuscarawas County for clients who prefer on-site care. Call us to discuss which approach works best for your situation and your horse.

Finding a veterinarian passionate about equine reproduction and dedicated to the success of your operation can be difficult.

Access to a veterinarian with real, hands-on experience in equine reproduction isn’t always easy to come by in rural Ohio. Dr. Amity Wise has spent a significant portion of her more than 20-year career working with horses on reproduction, from routine breeding management and mare exams to more complex reproductive challenges.

When to Schedule an Equine Reproductive Evaluation

Reproductive evaluations are most effective when they’re planned ahead of the breeding season rather than initiated after a problem has already developed. Early assessment gives our team the time to identify and address any issues before they affect your breeding goals.

Pre-Breeding Evaluation

Scheduling a reproductive exam before the breeding season allows us to assess your mare’s cycle, uterine health, and reproductive tract condition.

Reproductive Challenges

In cases where a mare is struggling with pregnancy, a thorough evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and guide the most appropriate next steps.
