Some comments about the course:
"Wow! That was the best weekend seminar I have ever attended. Now I know what to ask my vet, and I even learned how to do many things myself! I figure I will save the cost of the class in vet bills in about a week! I highly recommend this class to anyone who is breeding horses!" Kris Garrett, Grand Prix Andalusians
"An excellent course for both breeders and vets! I was very impressed with the information provided and as a veterinarian was pleased to have learned so much. The lecturers had an answer for every question I asked. Well done!" Ken Valencich, D.V.M.
"As a true "lay person" in the field of equine reproduction, I was hesitant to spend the time and money. I am so glad that I made the right decision! The lecturers somehow manage to keep everyone involved and are able to make some complicated issues very clear and understandable...... The Course 'Notes' needs to be published! They are as complete and concise as the seminar, and I know I will be referring to it all year." B. Buerkle
