Equine Specialist Consulting was established by Dr Joan Carrick in 2012 to take care of pregnant brood mares that have trouble carrying their foals to full term. Joan has done extensive research and has many years of experience looking after high risk pregnant mares. Dr Carrick has developed an internationally recognised problem pregnancy prevention program to recognise and treat mares that have repeatedly aborted. Over 90 % of the mares that are in the program deliver live healthy foals that go on to be successful athletes.
