Recently I wrote to one of the Lingh breeders, and this was her reply….
“Thank you for your interest- I had just wanted to report on how the good the semen looked! I bought it several years ago, and didn’t have a suitable mare until recently; After thawing, my vet and I thought it looked really good. It was probably better than 50 %motility and the cells were moving straight , instead of in circles, like so many others I have seen. I like vigorous appearing cells- not only can they get a mare pregnant, but I think the quality of the newborn is also enhanced by vigor.( my humble opinion) I will know on Monday whether she is pregnant, but the vet inseminated within 3 hrs of ovulation, which is probably not optimal. The mare is a Hanoverian by Rubenstein x Warkant, registered West.
