Breeding Lab

The breeding lab contains complete facilities needed to run a successful breeding program. The lab includes a computer system for record keeping, microscopes, artificial insemination materials and other laboratory equipment needed for collecting stallions, analyzing semen, palpating and breeding mares, and performing overall herd health. The stallion collection facility has a phantom used for collecting semen from stallions as well as the chutes needed to examine mares and doctor other horses.

Foaling Stall

The foaling stall is located at the end of the mare barn and was designed and built specifically for foaling mares with safety for the handlers, mare, and foal. The stall includes monitoring cameras, slanted walls to prevent mares from getting trapped, double doors, and windows for ventilation and observation. The stall measures 12' by 24', and has three small irrigated pastures attached that are known as the "nursery pastures." California Thoroughbred Breeders Foundation donated the stall.

Stallion Barn

The stallion barn consists of large reinforced stalls with attached pipe runs that contain stallions standing at the horse unit. The barn is secure and detached from the other working horse and mare barns.

Other Facilities

The mare barn, working horse barn, 500-ton hay barn, and outside pipe corrals are the other structures available at the Equine Center.
