West Kington Stud offers a complete breeding service, taking mares in for foaling, insemination and embryo transfer. We work closely with the highly experienced repro team from B&W Equine Vets to provide all of these services. Details of all of the packages available from B&W are available below.
A variety of stallions are resident to provide Fresh and Chilled semen throughout the breeding season, these can be browsed on our ‘Stallions at Stud’ page from where semen can be purchased online. Alongside these we have frozen semen from several hundred other stallions available from our frozen semen stores, many of which we hope to make available for purchase online soon.
Please contact our Stud Secretary, Kate Collings or Stud Manager, Harry Thirlby, who will be happy to help with any queries that you might have. For your guidance, all of our information is included below.
