If a mare passes unexpectedly, there is a small window of time, after death, that her ovaries can be harvested.

At this time, this is the only chance the client has to preserve her DNA.
At this time, this is the only chance the client has to preserve the mare’s DNA. This procedure allows for the chance to get an embryo from the mare even after she has passed.
