Equine embryos are cooled for short‐term storage to allow for shipment to another site for transfer into a recipient mare. This chapter discusses the step by step procedure for packaging embryos for cooled transport with illustrations, and the equipment and supplies needed. It also discusses the step by step procedure for receiving and handling a shipped embryo. Cooled transport of equine embryos is now a routine procedure in the equine industry. Progress in the development of commercial complete holding media and passive cooling systems have simplified the process. Pregnancy rates following transfer of cooled transported embryos are similar to rates following the transfer of fresh embryos.
