The Apex difference

The difference behind the results.

Every reproduction center does things a little differently. At Apex, the program was built by identifying the decisions believed to be critical to a successful outcome.

Dr. Matt Parsons with a palomino recipient mare

It begins with specialized veterinary expertise. Dr. Matt Parsons is a veterinarian and vested partner whose career has become increasingly focused on equine reproduction. At Apex, he personally examines the donor and recipient mares, manages the reproductive decisions and performs the embryo transfers.

Around that expertise is a carefully selected recipient herd, hands-on horse management and a service philosophy designed around the breeder.

Apex is not focused on processing the most mares. It is focused on making the right decisions, providing the right mares and giving clients the best opportunity for results.
