Contagious Equine Metritus (C.E.M) Quarantine Station

|
Our well appointed four stall barn is a self contained quarantined area. Due to the nature of C.E.M we can turn out horses daily, if requested. The adjacent wood-fenced paddocks are completely separate from other horses on the farm. Veterinary care is provided by New England Horse Care Center and their multiple vet practice is located nearby. Brookside is only a few miles from Route 146, making us easily accessible from Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. |
ABOUT C.E.M.
![]()
|
Federal law requires that all breeding horses over the age of two traveling to the United States from a country that is known to have the disease Contagious Equine Metritis must go to a C.E.M quarantine facility for rigorous testing and treatment. Geldings are not considered breeding horses. Brookside Equestrian Center is a US Department of Agriculture certified facility. C.E.M is a venereal disease of horses caused by bacteria and spread through breeding. Ultimately, C.E.M results in a mare's inability to conceive. Stallions can carry the bacteria, but do not show clinical signs.
