My wife and I spent our 46th in Ocala Fl. Touring some horse farms and at a Gypsy Vanner farm I got tired of the owner’s boring lecture and took my bag of carrots and wandered off.
As I was feeding a mule I saw the Vet drive in and a farm hand was leading a mare and foal behind the barn so I went back there to check it out.
The Vet allowed me to get up close and he put his hand in her with a syringe full of a clear liquid and held a Petri dish up to her and washed a tiny embryo into the dish.
He then used a glass tube and sucked the embryo into it, capped both end and held it up to my nose.
It was pink and half the size of a grain of rice.
It was on its back and you could see all four legs and a neck or head.
The mare had been bred 7 days earlier. The Vet said it doesn’t attach for about 3 weeks.
He collected the embryo to impregnate a different mare.
IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAD EVER SEEN.
One of GOD’s miracles.
