Blended Learning Equine Courses

TWO short courses commence in January and February 2024 on the topics of Equine Breeding/Reproduction (sport horses) and Equine Foaling. Both courses provide a combination of course manual, online Zoom sessions, and on farm workshop(s). The breeding group commence on January 18th and the Foaling group on February 13th with Zoom sessions provided evenings from 6.30 to 9pm and the farm workshops to conclude both courses during daytime hours.

These courses are ideal for those new to breeding, or even those who wish to take a fresh look at their enterprise and management approaches. The additional benefits of networking with others in the group and with the farm owners are always appreciated.
