World-Class Stallions
at EU Station

At Hreyfing Icelandic Horse Center, we are here for you and your mare when it's time for breeding. Our team of veterinarians and AI assistants all work towards one goal – to get your mare pregnant.

Services We Offer:

  • Fresh Sperm (AI): Artificial Insemination. Sperm is collected from a stationed stallion, examined, diluted, and insemination is done immediately.

  • Transported Sperm (TAI): Sperm is collected, examined, diluted, and cooled. Then it is transported chilled to a receiving station.

  • Frozen Sperm (FAI): The sperm undergoes the same process as previous methods, but is instead frozen. Storage takes place in containers with liquid nitrogen.

  • Embryo Transfer: This involves transferring an embryo from a donor mare to a receiving surrogate mother.

  • Hand Mating: The stallion covers the mare under controlled conditions by hand.

Unsure About the Method? Contact us and we will help you. All horse breeds are welcome with us – we love diversity!

Who we are

Sissel & Åsa Nevander Holmén run Hreyfing Icelandic Horse Center, located just outside Norrköping, Sweden. There, they operate a semen station, training, breeding & farriery.

Together, they have over 20 years of experience in breeding, horse training, and education.

  • Ensure your mare is healthy and sound. Think about her strengths and weaknesses and what qualities you want to improve in the offspring. Choose a stallion that complements these traits and check his availability for breeding. We offer breeding with fresh, transported, or frozen semen and keep you updated throughout the process.

  • We understand the costs of horse care and breeding can sometimes be overwhelming. Therefore, we emphasize offering reasonable prices for all our services. Our price list is available for download in swedish but contact us for more information. It includes station fees, veterinary care, additional services such as uterine flushing and ultrasound exams, daily pasture fees, and any potential extra costs like bacterial testing, treatments, medications, and hoof care.

  • We offer three methods:

    • Fresh Sperm (AI): Sperm is collected and inseminated directly.

    • Transported Sperm (TAI): Sperm is collected, examined, cooled, and transported to us for insemination.

    • Frozen Sperm (FAI): Sperm is collected, frozen, and stored in liquid nitrogen, thawed at the time of insemination.

    Our veterinarians conduct ultrasound examinations to monitor the mare's estrous cycle and optimize timing for insemination. After insemination, we conduct a pregnancy check after about 14 days. Mares can stay with us during this period. We also offer embryo transfer.

    Yes, we have veterinarians on-site as part of our team, including semen assistants and staff, all working towards the goal of getting your mare pregnant. Our veterinarians will be available throughout the season to examine your mare and prepare for insemination.
