Pre-breeding exams are useful to detect potential problems and residual problems from previous breeding which could reduce the liklihood of becoming pregnant, carrying a fetus to term, or requiring special treatment to aid a live and healthy foal.
This can include an exam of the external genetalia; exam by palpation; and ultrasound of the ovaries, uterus, cervix and vagina. The vet may also take a swab from the uterus to test for bacterial contamination, and they may biosy the uterine mucosa.

"Thank you so much for the extra good care you took of Lilly ... I’ve always been extremely happy with Dave as our vet, I think he truly does a wonderful job, and you can really see how much he cares.”
"The fact that Dave has been my vet for many years speaks volumes. Dave has a very nice manner and deals with the horses in a calm and kind way. He always takes time to explain options and procedures and to advise on what he considers to be the best course of treatment."
