🚨 Red Bag Delivery in Mares …..Know the Signs, Save the Foal 🚨

A “red bag” delivery is a true emergency in foaling mares. This occurs when the placenta separates too early and is delivered before the foal cutting off the foal’s oxygen supply.

🩸 What you’ll see:
Instead of the normal clear/white amniotic sac, you’ll see a thick, red, velvety membrane at the v***a.

⏱ Why it’s critical:
The foal is no longer getting oxygen through the placenta. Every second counts ….delays can lead to brain damage or loss of the foal.

✂️ What to do IMMEDIATELY:
• Act fast this is not a “wait and watch” situation
• Cut or tear open the red bag right away
• Assist delivery if needed, guiding the foal out
• Call your vet ASAP

⚠️ Risk factors can include:
• Placentitis
• Fescue toxicity
• High-risk or older mares
• Thicken Placenta

🧠 Be prepared:
Know what normal looks like so you can recognize when something isn’t right. Having foaling supplies ready and a plan can make all the difference.

At Star Mountain Equine Reproduction, we’re here to help guide you through every step of breeding and foaling season because healthy mares and foals are the goal every time.

Fluid post-breeding in mares let’s talk about it 👇

It’s not uncommon for mares to have some fluid in the uterus after breeding, but it’s something that should never be ignored. Even small amounts can impact conception rates if not properly managed.

At Star Mountain Equine Reproduction, we take a proactive approach:
✔️ Post-breeding ultrasounds to check for fluid
✔️ Timely treatments when needed (oxytocin, lavage, etc.)
✔️ Individualized care based on each mare’s history

Our goal is simple, create the best possible environment for that embryo to thrive.

Good breeding management doesn’t stop once the semen is in… that’s just the beginning.

Have questions about your mare or the breeding process? We’re here to help every step of the way.

Proof that sometimes you just have to put the semen in and trust the process!

This mare ovulated before the semen even arrived. Instead of calling it a miss, we bred her anyway… and today we found a perfect 15-day embryo! 🙌

Just another reminder that timing isn’t always textbook, but experience, persistence, and good reproduction management can still lead to success.

Moments like this are why we love what we do at Star Mountain Equine Reproduction.

Let’s talk mare care before breeding 🐴

One of the most overlooked steps is a proper dental check.

🦷 Healthy teeth support better nutrition, body condition, and help set mares up for reproductive success.

Small details make a big difference.

Be sure to have your mare checked prior to breeding her come this spring!

Collected a 25-year-old stallion who hasn’t been collected in 20 years as he was a ranch horse and his main job was not breeding 🤯
And just look at that motility 🔥
Proof that age is just a number when experience, management, and attention to detail come together.
