Artificial Insemination

As well as natural service Glenwood Stud International offers Artificial Insemination(AI) for mares on site and send semen from our stallions across teh UK, Ireland and other EU Countries.
We have a padded crush for AI and scanning with an enclosed foal area in front. This is a great safety aspect whilst working with the mare and foal so they are both kept safe but not separated which is less stressful.

AI provides the mare with the minimum risk of infection.
Mares can be inseminated with semen from bigger/smaller stallions
No danger from covering for stallion, mare of handler
Mares are scanned and inseminated at the optimum time for conception.
If you are too far away to travel your mare (and perhaps foal)
If your mare dosen't travel well or frets away from home
If your vet advises you not to have her covered naturally for whatever reason e.g. injury, pooling fluid etc.
Glenwood Stud Laboratory
We have an onsite laboratory for analysing and evaluating semen either taken on site or imported in from other sources. It is important to know that the semen is of good enough quality prior to insemination.
