Field notes
The chronology starts with a mare bred on 6 September 1979, then follows the embryo transfer a week later, pregnancy confirmation, and the 1980 foaling. It identifies the regional Fondo Ganadero de Caldas team and links contemporary coverage, journal citations, brochure images, and a seven-minute Spanish interview; an Español link is also present. The page says a 2003 paper later described the technique as new, while keeping source material and open questions visible.
