"Thanks for your attention and perseverance to find me and make sure that my mare was cared for during her colic episode.   Manny is terrific and on top of every detail.   He acted quickly early in the season and saved the life of this year's foal, then made sure my mare got to the clinic in time to recover from colic and still remain in foal to Beau this year! My experience with the farm has been an exceptional one, thank you!"

"Perhaps it's a little early to be thinking of next year's breedings, but my strong recommendation is if you want your mares to get in foal, and have them looking great when they return home, send them to Ballena Vista.   The combination of Manuel and the Farm's stallions is outstanding.   I have sent numerous mares to Ballena Vista and within 2-3 weeks of their arrival they've been bred, and seventeen days later, all pronounced "in foal", no matter if they're young, old or maidens.   Thanks Ballena Vista!"
