Nurse Mares Without Impregnation
What sets our program apart is simple: we are the industry standard for nurse mare programs in the United States. Our model prioritizes quality over quantity in every aspect of care, selection, and service.
Our herd is intentionally curated — not expanded for volume, but refined for excellence. We invest heavily in their health, the best nutrition, and ongoing care year-round because we understand that the foundation of a thriving foal is a healthy, well-supported mare.
Unlike other programs, we do not mass produce mares, pull recently foaled out mares from auctions, or rely on unnecessary impregnation. Instead, we operate with a carefully developed, ethically driven comprehensive lactation induction protocol that eliminates the need for a “throw-away” foal. Every mare in our program is a proven broodmare, selected for temperament, maternal instinct, and soundness. This ensures we are not passing along any bad habits to the foals or creating added stress for the owners.
Our mares arrive fully in milk, ready to pair, and are 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Most importantly, we know these mares. We know them more than just by name, we know their personality, the sound of their neighs, and their bodies like the back of our hands. Our mares are a lifetime commitment - safe with us in retirement and even in death with a safe, reliable, retirement with us beyond their time in service as a nurse mare.
When farms choose us, they are choosing the highest standard of care, the most responsible model in the industry, and service that reflects true partnership — not just availability.

“Highly highly recommend Bronwyn! She does something so special with these mares. She jumped in the truck and was to me within 24 hours and her sweet sweet mare Siri took my little guy IMMEDIATELY!! It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! I am forever indebted to Bronwyn and Coldspring!”
— Cande J.
“This is an awesome life saving service! We sadly lost our mare after foaling and ColdSpring Nurse Mares jumped into action and brought us a mare the next day! The transition to her new momma was smooth and easy. This mare is so sweet and easy to be around, she’s also a great mom to her filly. If you ever need this service please do yourself and your foal a favor and call!”

Donations
As the industry standard for nurse mare programs in the United States, we refuse to cut corners — and that commitment comes at a cost.
Our lease fee does not fully cover year-round care, nutrition, preventive veterinary support, emergency readiness, or the lifetime retirement we guarantee every mare. We do not sell off aging horses when they are no longer in service. Our mares are a lifelong responsibility.
Your support helps bridge the gap between operating at the highest standard and keeping our services accessible to farms. It ensures quality over quantity, protects retired nurse mares, and sustains the most ethical model in the industry.
When you give, you protect the gold standard — and the mares who make healthy foals possible.
