Little Hawk Farm

Dr. Tom Newton has been offering a full range of equine reproductive services for more than twenty years at Little Hawk Farm.
Little Hawk Farm is located at 1625 Cardwell Road in Crozier, Goochland County, Virginia.
Facilities - The farm's breeding facilities include a separate stallion barn with an indoor breeding area with palpation stocks, phantom and reproductive laboratory and four stalls.
Stallions - Little Hawk Farm always has several resident stallions and is home to many other visiting stallions during breeding season. Some of these stallions come to the farm and stay for the duration of the breeding season. Others ship in for breeding mares by natural cover or are collected for mares to be bred by artificial insemination on the farm. Dr. Newton is available on the farm to collect and package semen for shipment.
Mares - If you are a mare owner, Dr. Newton can assist you with breeding your mare to the stallion of your choice. Except where breed registry prohibits, most stallions now offer the shipment of fresh cooled or frozen semen. If you wish to breed your mare with fresh, cooled or frozen semen, LHF will board your mare, follow her cycle through a program of teasing and palpation and at the appropriate time, order semen produced by any stallion of your choice from whom shipped semen is available. Dr. Newton uses ultrasonography in all phases of the breeding process.
Foaling - When your mare is ready to foal out, LHF can also assist you. We have foaling stalls with visual monitors and use the Foal Alert system that notifies the staff when a mare goes into labor. Dr. Newton resides on the farm and attends all foalings.
Weaning - Dr. Newton recommends weaning between four and six months of age depending upon the individual needs of the mare and foal involved. The farm has the facilities and personnel to handle this important event.
Vet Services - Dr. Newton has an ambulatory equine practice with emphasis on reproductive services, based at Little Hawk Farm. Dr. Newton also provides a limited non-reproductive, ambulatory service. He is based on the farm and happy to attend horses brought to Little Hawk for most routine services, such a Coggins, vaccinations, floating teeth, lameness workups and radiographs.
