409 Days: Managing Uncertainty in Extended Gestation with Breeder Kendra Hansis

In this episode of Behind the Breeding, we talk to Kendra Hansis and discuss a real-world case of a recipient mare that carried to 409 days.

The conversation explores how the extended gestation was managed, alongside a broader discussion on embryo transfer—the challenges, the successes, and everything in between. We also talk about knowing when to make tough calls in breeding and when it might be time to adjust your program’s direction.
