Access proven breeding
Providing to every breeder and horse lover access to proven breeding. That is what drives us. It’s at the forefront of everything we do.
We offer pregnancies from mares that have performed at 5* level, whose offspring was placed at 5* level or that have been bred from the world's best damlines. The talent of these mares and that of the world’s leading sires of sport horses are available for you.
Pregnancies from proven damlines
Sexed
The embryos can be sexed which gives the option of choosing a male or a female embryo.
Fixed prices
The mares are divided into 4 categories: bronze, silver, gold and diamond, each representing a fixed price.
45-days pregnancy
Until the 45th day of pregnancy, there are no costs or risks: if the recipient mare does not appear to be pregnant on this day, the customer gets a full refund.
Breeding starts with the wellbeing of the MoMs.
Mares are the cornerstone of breeding. We keep the MoMs surrounded by the best care, in the vast and sunny fields of Northern Italy on a self-managed property. The mediterranean climate allows year round grazing and the large individual stables with spacious paddocks give the equine athletes the comfort they deserve.
Frequently asked questions
What is a frozen embryo?
An embryo is the result of the successful fertilisation of a female ovum or egg and a male sperm cell. A veterinarian collects an ovum from the mare using the OPU (Ovum Pick Up) technique. Then a sperm cell is injected into the ovum under very strict conditions in a laboratory, using specialised microscopic techniques. After approximately 7 days, the success of this fertilisation is determined and if successful, the embryo is frozen to a temperature of -197°C with liquid nitrogen.
What is ICSI?
ICSI is the abbreviation for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, meaning that a sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilisation.
Where are MoM embryos located?
MoM embryos are stored in two locations. The first is in Italy, where the mares and Avantea are located. The embryos are subsequently transported to the ‘De Morette’ Equine Reproduction Centre in Belgium. This reproduction centre complies with all European regulations and is certified for the storage of frozen embryos. From there, the embryos are shipped to one of the 16 certified implantation centres. We also have a limited stock in Brasil and the US.
How can I have my MoM embryo implanted?
We take care of the entire implantation procedure in one of the by MoM certified implantation centers across the world.
