Ok. This is for anyone who comes on this channel to give UNASKED for opinions about what Katie is sharing with us. No one cares about your opinion on breeding on the foal heat. You guys feel free to come here and bash her decision. You seem to think one unrelated incident should dictate all her decisions going forward. Did you not notice the vet there? She sought EXPERT medical opinion before making her decision. Had the vet noticed ANYTHING questionable, she would have made a different decision. And in the wild, they rebreed on foal heat naturally. These mares get the best care going forward, all the best nutrition , and she inspects each one daily for ANY signs of a problem. If needed, that vet is on speed dial to get there fast. I am sure she doesn't spare any expense if needed. At the end of the day, yes, it is a business. But her love and passion for the mares and babies come first. So give her a break and remember no one cares for your unasked for opinion! Oh, and don't forget you can leave and unsubscribe to her channel!
Lmao, it's a PUBLIC PLATFORM. Post it to a social media platform, expect to get unsolicited opinions. Period. 😂
Happens ALL over TH-cam and any other platform. 🤷🏻♀️
You don't get to dictate what is said, it's a public platform, opinions asked for or not are part of the deal.
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean always that you SHOULD do something.
@@slmartin1957 Well .... Maybe the same thing could be said about Katie and this video. 🤷🏻♀️ Apply your own logic to that.
I'm not subscribed. And I follow fallon Taylor world champion barrel racer, who doesn't breed on foal heat 😅😅😅
I love your vet. He’s so straight forward and says it like it is without treating you like you’re not as knowledgeable as he is.
A lot of vets are so superior but he’s just fabulous!
Maybe it’s more about where you come from?
❤
I’ve found equine vets understand the ranchers are out there day in and day out with those animals so they are usually just as knowledgeable, just don’t know the fine tuning aspects. I love big animal vets.
The best part of your vet is he teaches. I hate vets who don’t share what they know. It doesn’t hurt that he is nice and handsome.
I like your vet. Just saying. I worked at a clinic for years doing kennel keeping then worked as an assistant. I can spot a good vet. Hes a keeper!
He’s awesome!
“I might have to buy a recip to carry for Trudy”. Ok if you must. The more the merrier!
I once rode in a horse transport to bring a recip mare to a facility that received the embryo. Guess how iit was shipped?? IN A RABBIT! The pregnant mare was in England...the embryo was harvested and put into the rabbit, who was flown to the US, and implanted here! We joked that the foal would be a great jumper!!
😊😊😅 ❤🤗👋🇨🇦
seriously?? that’s wild lol, what would happen if the embryo was somehow just left in the rabbit 😅😅

I’ve been a breeder of dogs and horses for years. I’m telling you, Ginger’s boy is a special colt.
So much better technology than when I was in vet school and worked on a breeding farm.
I like the way Beyoncé kind of jerked her head at you when you called her a deva. Getting the mommas all set up for babies, I don’t know how you keep it all straight.
It's all on computer. This is an industry like any other. Horses like all domesticated animals are commodities, profit making machines. Which is why I could never be, nor do I want to, be a breeder.
It's all on computer, like any other industry. Domesticated animals are commodities, profit making machines. This is why I could never be, nor do I want to, be a breeder. The life of a brood mare, just like a milking cow, is just one baby after another.
@kalayne6713 They definitely aren't in it for the money. A moral breeder doesn't make money. They are lucky if they break even. They breed horses to improve the Quarter Horse breed.
@@wolfie7051well said!
What is the vet pulling out of Ginger?
As a woman who's had way to many horror stories at the gyno visits..it makes me so happy to you using 'sleepy juice' other sedation, and other pain management during these things! Plus the extra love and pets as well. ❤
Agreed!!!! Human doctors seem to care a lot less!
gingers little one is so stinking cute
Isn’t he 🥰
Now Doctor Matthew 😮 we’re going to have to have a talk!! How did you forgot Miss Special Ethel?!? She’s a 1 of 1! There’s no other Mare like her!! 🥰 I’m thinking maybe it’s because Ethel only flirts with Jonathan and Doctor Matthew is just a little jelly!! 😂
Katie is a horse breeder, her parents are breeders, and they ALWAYS call in the experts. That’s why they have such an exceptional breeding program, why her foals are bought every season because she uses exceptionally good bloodline sires. As with every breeding program there are injuries and deaths, and with Cool, she saw the vet frequently before her death, which was quickly. Look at what she has done with Seven. Most breeders would have put him down, he’s a male, rehab is going to be expensive, however Katie’s faith in God, her compassion for life, and her kind heart is doing everything possible for him. JUST BECAUSE IT’S A PUBLIC PLATFORM, it’s an educational platform for those looking to go into husbandry, so if you don’t have anything to help people, keep it to yourself.
😊 I wish we had this technology in the early 80's. I went three years to get a Smooth Town baby. What a difference it is now.
Yes Smooth Town foals were gorgeous!!! The Greg Whalen days in the halter classes!!! I remember them well!!!
@@ovroyalty I was so fortunate to live right up the road from the Whalen's and had my very own Smooth Town colt. He was one that ll never be forgotten
Eeeek. Missing the little wee ones is sad when they go off. And breeding the mamas is so fun to watch and see ❤. I need a chart. Who is Preggos and who is the daddy ! My LEWRD.
Same!
Ginger is such a beautiful mare. She is going to have beautiful goals. 😍😍😍
I love that both you and the vet explain everything and the way you care for each horse is so sweet ❤
Love seeing your smile, Katie. Prayers and hugs for continued healing and comfort for you and your family.
Endometrial biopsies on a human hurt like the dickens. Hope the horses don’t have the same feeling. It is not a comfortable procedure.
I believe he said she was sedated. It was nice of him to make sure she didn't feel it .
@@zhummingbirdsedated horses still feel everything. You need numbing for them to not feel the pain.
Just started watch you, and I’m a city girl. Now I have to figure out all this jargon. This is all new to me!😊
Y'all catch on quickly just started watching a couple months ago
❤Ask away if you would like anything explained. Some of us would be more than happy to describe technical terms and. Equipment (tack) & equipment terms. 🐎
Katie, why don't you explain how complicated breeding is, how the numbers (... 2.5/3, etc) refer to uterus expanding to be ready to accept an overy or semen specimen artificially, the timing has to be so very precise: Breeding is a real expense. how much$$ do ovums and semen specimens cost. As you say in your video, "we can't lose a drop'"! You take great care and are so knowledgeable about all things running on your land. Excellent!
Wait.. if ginger is Beyoncé’s kid and Gracie is Beyoncé’s recip mare, than, does that technically mean that Seven is already a uncle because Beyoncé also got a kid?😭
@@tammyirwin703no she’s right. Seven is technically an uncle since Fred is his nephew
No 7 is either a half sibling or a full sibling to ginger it just depends on who gingers daddy is but yes 7 is an uncle to Freddy but it's gingers baby and it's his sister
@@BreilynDeVore-oj8kd 7 is a half sibling, his sire is VS Goodride and Ginger’s is VS Code Red. Who also happens to be Goodride’s uncle. So they’re half sibling cousins 🤣
Seven is Freddie’s uncle since he is Beyoncé’s grandson.
@@Julianne915 😂😂
From someone who has has a uterine biopsy, it hurt so badly. I give the experience 0 stars, do not recommend.
I’m so sorry you went through that.
It would not surprise me if mares get better pain care for that than humans. 💜
Yep. Doc said there would be a little pinch... he lied. Vet is better informed.
I love the extended videos in YT! ❤thanks for sharing Katie!
Love Abigail. She is getting the hang of every thing. ❤❤❤❤❤
Love this channel, been watching since early, early on, way back when it was just tik tok and facebook! Anyways just one thing I wanted to point out is that she tends to cut the vet off when he's trying to answer her question and she usually asks him another question so we don't get the original question answered. Not trying to be mean at all, I've just noticed it the last few videos with the vet. She is very intelligent and knows her horses very well and I enjoy watching. Just wanted to say something because I'm sure she doesn't notice.
Only been watching since she bought VS Code Red. Way back in the day (1970s) we raised some Appaloosas. None of the hi tech stuff available then.
And yes I've noticed the same thing. She doesn't let the vet finish. He's being technical and a lot of her followers aren't going to understand .
Maybe that's why
Me at age 78, I researched Embryo transplant and arrtificall insemination
Figured if I installed TicTok at my age. to keep better track of Seven. .. I could find out more about these topics. But a lot of her viewers need things more basic.
Who cares? Literally no one asked you. No one.
who asked you for your rude and unnecessary response? Get back under your bridge....
@@Peonies7878and nobody asked you for your snarky response, but here we are....
@@hilaryadkin904 well expect someone to call you out when you puke out your unkind comments.
I think I would go nuts having to figure out who to breed who to or who to carry for who.
It's fascinating to see what all goes into breeding horses. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
I am learning so much from your videos! Thank you for letting us peek in on all you're experiences...Great way to learn. Ive got my fingers crossed that my mare in going to check in foal 2 weeks from today!!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Love the breeding videos. Thanks for educating us.❤
I am just absolutely in love with Ginger. Her head is beautiful. Such a pretty girl. When that side shot of Freddy came up when y’all were talking about him in the stall, he is a perfect little man. 🙏🏼❤️
Katie Van Slyke, it looked like Beyonce almost popped you one with her head when you said she had turned into a DIVA! LMAO!
Living up to her namesake. 😄
Beautiful horses. ❤ you take such good care of all your animals. ❤
Man, the sires got the Life of Riley compared to these Momma brood mares!! Blessings for healthy pregnancies and births!!
Thinking about a big mare to carry a Trudy baby made me think of a big draft horse 😂
I joined this page last week and im finding it very interesting and katie you are so funny.. also hows babu seven doing hes such a trooper
Thank you for all the explanations you give I’ve learned so much from you I know the human side of these things….but grew up showing 4h and some quarter horse shows so this is absolutely amazing…someday I’m going to go to one of your meet and greets….
Sending good thoughts your way.❤❤❤
If you breed Ginger while still nursing her currant baby and she gets pregnant, does that effect her milk production?
Not at all
How's baby seven doing?
This is so interesting. You guys are very blessed.
What happens if you discover twins? Genuine question and zero judgement. Non horse person who is fascinated with Katie's horses and what I've seen of the breeding program
Dang. Gracie got sedation for a uterine biopsy. I’ve had three and they never give sedation or any kind of anesthesia or even pain management at all! Human females don’t even get treated as well as horses!
its because humans won't kick a vet lol
@@Isobel201I won’t kick a vet, but there are no guarantees I won’t kick a gyn who’s tearing a chunk out of my uterus.
I’m sad they don’t get more of a break between pregnancy. It takes awhile for a lady to get her body back.😢
I hope someone is writing this all down 🤯
Uterine Biopsy hurt!!!! I am sure it hurts all female species. Pain meds don't really help at the time of!
Awe. Seems fast baby only 2 wks old..can he still nurse, will there still be milk. Does seem fast, but i dont know anything about horses..just learning since i found katie (but yes biopsies hurt, i am a mom of 5)
That would be yes.
Yes. Being pregnant does not affect the horses ability to produce milk.
I am new as well and I said the same thing! Poor mama can’t even get a break… 😭 But I’m just looking at this from a human perspective. ♥️
Give that poor horse a break for Christ sake.
Horses don’t work the same as humans.
So informative and interesting. I love the way you treat your horses. So kind and loving.
Why do you do the embryo transfers?
They do embryo transfers for a couple of different reasons. 1. If you want multiple babies from the same mare in a year. 2. If a mare is unable to carry her own baby you can still have babies from her. In Beyoncé's case, she has a leg injury that pregnancy aggravates.
You need a giant white board with all of these ha ha 🤣
After i come over your youtube channel, it has become one of my favorite channels to watch 🐎❤️
Abigail said get me off camera 😂
She really did!
I love your Vet. He is so good looking!!! Do you keep him on your farm fulltime? Does he have an office and just helps at your farm??? I would love a Vlog on yourVet if he could share his background ect???
He works at the Tennessee vet clinic. He has a full time job as a reproductive vet.
Love your videos!
Quick question..I know the vet knows what he is doing but being a woman im just going to ask..😂 I noticed when he is checking her or any other of your mares they always poop which is to be expected BUT he takes the poop and throws it in the trash and then continues with the same poopy hand he just used and continues to examine her. That doesn't cause bacteria to get into her uterus from the poop on his gloved hands? Honest question not trying to be snooty or nothing or maybe im confused and thats not poop if not what is it?
I'm going to guess it's been cleaned out/off. He's also continuing to use the rectal point to do ultrasound. He just needs the bowel clear so he can use the instrument to see what's going on.
@@michellemelville8979 That makes sense. Thank you.
Thr ultrasound is done through the rectum. When he does have to go into the vagina, he uses a new glove
Noticed that need clean glove???
I have had a biopsy before and it was the worst thing I've ever experienced and will 100% be asking for sedatives if i ever need one again!! If they can do it for horses, they can do it for humans
They did mention sleepy juice I thought
@@michellemelville8979 that's my point
Your surgeon must have done something perhaps questionable. A biopsy should cause no more discomfort during when a doctor slips in a pacemaker. Make a small incision, harvest a small amount of material and quickly close. Surgeons freeze the area of interest. I am truly sorry you had such a painful & unpleasant experience. 🤔🤗🌺🌻
@@nancyadamson286 isn't it usually done with sedatives?
Here's something that will make you go hmmm. Freezing the site of harvest most usually leaves the area numb much like a frozen gum or tooth at the dentist. So a patient doesn't react to the incision usually, the patient reacts to the thought of the invasion, the psychological perception of perceived pain and the patient's loss of control even for the shortest time over her body. Some patients find the stress of this procedure overwhelming and may be given a light (10 mg) sedative to comfort them. I am sorry for your discomfort
and please ask for anything to a help the overwhelming feeling of need for support in any surgery procedure. Our little missus get a little cocktail that usually calm them so the ovum chanel remains open during the delivery of the specimen into Mama'sand has an open channel for the retrieval canister has a unobstructed .
Thanks for this great video!!!! Really interesting! He's a great vet. The best of luck with all your new babies to come! Every mare you have is exceptional! In every way❤🐎
I always learn so much from your vids. I'm hoping for that copy paste too ❤
What would Gingers colt go for? Just a ruff estimate… I know he is sooo stinking cute!
He's gorgeous
Can you flush out twins and put one in another horse?
I'm really enjoying these AI and surrogacy videos. When I was still veterinary nursing and was doing equine work I was in the heart of thoroughbred country so there was no AI or surrogacy. I left the field a long time ago now, but it's still a lifelong interest area for me.
Hehehe.. I’ve been thinking about you and the Loss of Cool.. I’ve been praying for you and your businesses. We love and support you and the family! I always look forward to your videos!
Question: Can a mare have a C-section and survive? Or is it only done when trying to save a foal because mom is already gone or beyond help? If I remember right I think it’s only if mom is gone.
A mare can have a c section and survive, and baby can make it too. One of them dying doesn’t mean the other one will
The c sections they do now are more advanced. In my friends mare they went from the side. Kinda like women they used to go up to down now they go side to side. I hope i said that correctly..can someone else explain better? About c section on mares now compared to then
.
@@jesseelisabeatty8205 was your friend’s mare ok?
@@Julianne915 yes, baby too. When i used to have horses , i delivered babies, , but , only one had a c section.( lost the mare, saved the baby..( eons ago ) im not an expert. Not really even sure what the correct way now to have a c section done..they sedated her mare and did it on the side insted of on the under side. .i haven had horses in years. My friend called me , says i think my sale barn mare i bought is colicking..shes down, ..i said get her up, call vet NOW! she sends me a pix says her insides are coming out..im like , call the Vet now! Shes foaling..not good. Explain video me her back in, feel what do you see..im like hell no! Not good. Breech. Thank God vet showed, baby was breach ..so vet said good thing you called when you did. We can " laugh" about it now..she had some horse experience, bought a bag of bones , she just looked wormy, but not full term preg. The thing we were laughing about..is " foal slippers" the protective coating on the feet..its creepy looking..she was freaking out. Foal and mare are fine.ask katie if you havent seen foal slippers to try to show you, they look kinda like tenticles ..im not an expert on horses its been eons. But my friend thought she was doing a good thing and me, lol i USED to have horses.. im glad she called me. Named the mare treasure and the filly pebble..
Ginger looks like her daddy an Stevie looks like her mom
How many babies do most mares have with you? What is the age range that you breed your mares at?
So glad to see a video! Are you going to keep any of the foals from this year?
I can't remember where but she said after Hank, she wanted to keep the next baby Trudy no matter what gender it was and that's Daphne. And then Molly, because she is already moving really well and is good tempered and all those good things. I think... don't quote me lol
She has a tendency to keep the fillies unless the perfect family comes along. It's why she sold Hank. It was a great opportunity for him and Bailey. Anyway, she keeps a lot of the girls.
She said Molly & Daphne are her keepers for sure this year
@@sharileesprowls6215 isn't that what most horse breeder stew? Keep the females and sell the males.
Molly, Daphne, and Seven
Im glad the biopsy wasnt painful for Gracie. I know it was when i had an endometrial biopsy...wish i had been sedated!!
Love your Horse. so Pretty
Love these TH-cam videos so much detail ❤ fingers crossed for a mid January filly for miss Ginger 🩷
So soon! ❤
How long does the semen. Last could you not store a supply at the farm ❤
The semen only keeps for a few days. It takes a different process in order to freeze it for long term storage that needs to happen when it is collected.
Fallon Taylor Never breeds on foal heat, you need to really give her body time to heal .
I just adore Ginger 🥰❤️. Freddie is absolutely precious! 🤗
Yesss! Definitely want more content like this
What decides whether you have the mare carry or have the embryo placed in a recip mare?
I can’t wait to see all the new pregnant mares!!!! breeding season will go great for you❤
I'm so thankful for your breeding stuff videos, I'm learning so much ❤
Very educational! I learned a lot on how the selections are made. Thank you for sharing! ❤
I Love these extended TH-cam Videos,because they are much more detailed and your Vet does an Amazing Job of explaining what is going on. Yes it can get a bit confusing because you breed a Mare and then transfer it to another Mare.
i have a question, how come you don't use Ethel for her own babies? cause she looks beautifull
I believe it has something to do a injury. Just like Beyonce.
Ethel has lost both colts either at birth or problems with them which have been non compatible with healthy life. The filly she had was strong though so they're using her as a recip incase it's a genetic problem with colts.
@@michellemelville8979 oh okay thanks :))
She had 2 fillies, Rosie and piper ❤
Selamlar, güzel video için çok teşekkürler 👍🙏🖐🇹🇷
How long do you keep the babies on the mamas?
I believe 6-8 months.
Lots of work but you definitely have what it takes.
Ginger is absolutely a beautiful mare I love the colors on her the baby is beautiful too
I got my Katie fix for the day ❤
What the heck?? I thought you said that you skip years for your mares when breeding??? I am not a fan breeding so soon yeh that’s your horses I get it but I’m not seeing the need but possibly money???? Get mad all you want from my comments but this is a bit ridiculous to my opinion!!!! Yes I did raise horses so just shut the hole before you say anything! I am unsubscribing so don’t worry I won’t bother you anymore 😠
She never said that. Unless the mare needs a break, they have a baby every year
Also she’s not in it for the money, you don’t make a big profit when breeding
I agree with you .
Last time this came up the vet said he would be nervous letting Gracie foal again.
The only way to be sure would be the biopsy. Katie jumped right on it.
Gracie had a hard time in 2023. Needed to be pulled. Not helped a bit but flat pulled.
Been there for myself. Years ago, none of this possible. I hope she at least leaves Gracie out of it.
I am pretty invested in Sevens outcome. But I could also go your way easily.
I've been commenting the same exact thing. Just lost a mare and foal for unexpected health reasons now your not giving this mare an proper amount of time to heal up from just giving birth?! Ridiculous. Being pregnant takes A LOT out of a females body. Animals go through the same thing. Just like dog breeders constantly getting their dogs pregnant to keep popping out babies. Just because there's a vet there doesn't mean anything. Her uterus could rupture, hemorrhage, anything from carrying back to back. It's sad. No regard for the mare imo. Just dollar signs.
@sherrie6492 Gracie didn't get pulled, she had Seven in the pasture all alone. He was up and suckling when Katie got there.
That’s sad u abort one of the twins I understand it’s a higher risk still sad though
There's really no option, it's one of both lost. Twin pregnancies where mum and bubs do well have the tiniest of odds. Why risk all parties?
I really am loving your videos! A question, why would you abort if there are twins?
Horses cannot carry twins safely.
Thanks for sharing
What is he doing with her mane?
I get all my horse knowledge from this channel. Please indulge me. Is his hand in her uterus? What is the green stuff he is disposing of?
The green stuff is poop
Hey just wanted to give you some baby names I like Girl Names Paisley,Nevaeh,Eleanor Josephine, Tabitha, Hannah,Stella,Charlotte and Boy Names Adam,Blake, Caleb, Herman, Wyatt,Joseph, Benjamin, Oakley, Sawyer, ❤
Loves the roan horses
Why don’t they breed naturally? Does Mom get hurt?
Often the stallions get hurt! Hardly anyone breeds naturally anymore because of the injury risk
I hope you can get a recip mare for Ginger, too, and have two of her gorgeous foals this year also!
She can’t, there wasn’t any synced up with her and now it’s too late to do the transfer
Howdy from west Texas!! 🤠
🇨🇦👋👋 👩👧👦👵 + 🐕
@@nancyadamson286judydruetto
I just heard the vet say that retained placenta would prevent a goal heat breeding. Does this mean Trudy can’t be bred this year, but could still produce and embryo for a recip mare? Or would they just breed her on her next heat?
*foal heat
Just means we wouldn’t breed her on her foal heat
Omg...my head is spinning.....I would be so confused....almost need a huge chart spreadsheet..taking it all.
Speaking of decisions to make, I have a registered suggestion for Fredward, hehe. RS Cool Coded N Lazy!
Because I don’t know, do you always breed with semen instead of a male covering them?
Genuine question, can a recip mare carry a foal that they would be genetically related to? Like ginger carrying her mommas? Idk if that’s what Katie was talking about walking with Beyoncé, I was trying to figure out the family tree 🤣
