At GoldMark Farm, we pride ourselves on providing a premier environment for the care of pregnant mares and their newborn foals. Our state-of-the-art mare barn, thoughtfully designed with 16 stalls across four bays, is a testament to our commitment to equine health and safety. With facilities that include two wash stalls, a lab area, expansive fields, paddocks, and a loading ramp, we ensure that every mare and foal enjoys the highest standard of care and comfort.

The Essence of Safety and Well-Being

The safety of our equine residents is our foremost priority. Our mare barn is equipped with secure fencing and meticulously maintained stalls designed to minimize the risks of injury or illness. The surrounding pastures and paddocks are regularly inspected to ensure a safe environment where mares and foals thrive.

Comprehensive Health Monitoring

At GoldMark Farm, the health of our mares and foals is closely monitored. Our staff is trained to observe pregnant mares for signs of distress or complications, ensuring timely intervention when necessary. Newborn foals are given thorough examinations to promptly address health issues, aiding in a solid start to their lives.

Stress-Free Environment

A comfortable and familiar setting reduces stress in pregnant mares and their foals. Our mare barn offers a serene and supportive atmosphere that contributes to the overall well-being of the animals. Reduced stress levels play a significant role in the success of pregnancies and the healthy development of foals.

Hygiene and Cleanliness

Maintaining a clean environment is vital for preventing the spread of diseases and infections. Our facilities are designed with hygiene in mind, making it easier to keep the stalls and foaling areas clean and safe. This dedication to cleanliness significantly reduces the risk of contamination, ensuring a healthy start for the foals.

Controlled Environment for Optimal Care

The mare barn at GoldMark Farm is equipped to control environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation. This is especially important for newborn foals susceptible to temperature extremes and respiratory issues. Our facilities ensure a stable and comfortable environment for both mares and foals.

Access to Superior Nutrition

Proper nutrition is essential for pregnant mares’ health and their foals’ development. At GoldMark Farm, we provide access to high-quality nutrition tailored to meet the specific needs of each mare during pregnancy. This ensures the mare’s well-being and supports the fetus’s growth.

Foaling Assistance and Post-Foaling Care

Our mare barn features specialized foaling stalls with excellent visibility and easy access, allowing our staff to assist with births if needed. This is crucial for handling any complications that may arise during delivery. After foaling, our facilities enable the segregation of mares and their foals, providing a secure environment for bonding and ensuring the foal receives proper colostrum and nursing.

Uncompromised Security

Security is paramount at GoldMark Farm. Our mare barn features controlled access and secure areas to protect pregnant mares and newborn foals from potential threats, including predators and theft. This level of security gives owners peace of mind, knowing their horses are safe.

Veterinary Care and Behavioral Needs

Our advanced facilities make it easier for veterinarians to provide comprehensive care, including prenatal check-ups, vaccinations, and emergency care. Additionally, our farm is designed to meet mares and foals’ behavioral and social needs, offering ample space for exercise, interaction, and mental stimulation.

Education and Observation

GoldMark Farm allows owners and staff to observe and learn about the pregnancy and foaling process. This knowledge fosters better care and management practices, contributing to the overall success of our breeding program.
