In this episode we sit down with Dr. Espy to talk about his path into equine medicine and what life behind the scenes of a reproduction veterinarian really looks like. He also shares practical advice for mare owners considering breeding—from traits to evaluate when planning a cross to how to prepare for foaling and what the critical first hours after a foal is born should look like. Drawing on decades of experience, Espy offers insight into the realities of breeding horses and the details that can make all the difference for both mare and foal.
