Broodmare Care and Foaling at Netherfield Farm
At Equine Associates, we are proud to partner with Dr. Scott Kendall and Netherfield Farm in Paris, Kentucky, to provide comprehensive breeding, foaling, and young horse care. A graduate of Iowa State University, Dr. Kendall is highly respected for his expertise in equine reproduction and his success in helping mares conceive and maintain healthy pregnancies.
Netherfield Farm offers horse owners the convenience of having every stage of the breeding process managed in one location. From breeding and pregnancy management to foaling and weaning, mares and foals receive exceptional veterinary care and daily monitoring from Dr. Kendall and his experienced team.
Once foals are weaned, they can seamlessly transition into the Equine Associates Young Horse Program, creating a complete pathway from conception to performance. Together, Netherfield Farm and Equine Associates provide a trusted, full-service program dedicated to developing healthy mares, thriving foals, and successful future athletes.
Reproductive Care
With decades of equine reproductive experience, Dr. Scott Kendall provides personalized breeding and pregnancy management designed to give every mare the best opportunity for success. By keeping mares at Netherfield Farm throughout the breeding process, they benefit from close veterinary oversight and experienced daily care.
Having Dr. Kendall and his team onsite allows mares to be monitored closely and examined multiple times a day when necessary. From cycle management and breeding to pregnancy diagnosis and high-risk pregnancy monitoring, every mare receives individualized attention tailored to her specific needs. Netherfield Farm also maintains a teaser stallion on-site, providing an additional tool for accurately monitoring mares and helping determine the optimal time for breeding.
This hands-on approach helps identify and address potential concerns early, promotes healthy pregnancies, and maximizes the likelihood of a successful outcome for both mare and foal. With veterinary care, experienced staff, and specialized reproductive resources all in one location, Netherfield Farm is equipped to support mares through every stage of the breeding process.
Foaling Care
At Netherfield Farm, mares receive attentive care and monitoring throughout late pregnancy to help ensure they are prepared for a safe and healthy delivery. With experienced staff onsite and veterinary oversight from Dr. Scott Kendall, mares can be closely observed as they approach their due dates.
When foaling time arrives, around-the-clock monitoring allows for rapid response should complications arise, helping support the best possible outcome for both mare and foal. Following birth, newborn foals are carefully evaluated to ensure they are nursing properly and developing as expected.
From foaling through weaning, mares and foals receive individualized care in a professional environment focused on health, safety, and long-term success. After weaning, young horses can seamlessly transition into the Equine Associates Young Horse Program, creating a complete pathway from birth through development with one trusted team.
Facilites
Located in the heart of horse country in Paris, Kentucky, Netherfield Farm's nearly 90-acre property provides an ideal environment for mares, foals, and young horses at every stage of development. The farm offers a variety of turnout options, allowing foals to progress naturally as they grow and gain confidence.
Newborn foals begin in smaller paddocks and a round pen where they can safely explore their surroundings and develop coordination. As they mature, they transition to larger paddocks before eventually joining other foals in spacious pasture settings with other young horses, encouraging healthy socialization and natural development.
Mares benefit from large, comfortable foaling stalls designed to provide a safe and secure environment during foaling and the early days of a foal's life. With ample turnout, thoughtful facility design, and room for horses to develop naturally, Netherfield Farm provides the foundation for healthy, confident young horses from birth through weaning and beyond.
