Lectures will include health requirements and paperwork for both mare and stallion; semen collection, handling, processing and shipping, assessment of the mare prior to insemination; timing of insemination for fresh, chilled and frozen semen; techniques of equine insemination and assessment of the mare after insemination.

Being an older geezer, I am dubious about a lot of the courses which call themselves CPD and see them more as a money extraction device by folks trying to peddle their wares to a captive market. I must say though, that despite the long drive, I stayed until the end of this course because of the sincerity of all the speakers and the practical manner in which things were presented. I would like to thank all those involved. I did want to have a chat with James and Jonathan both of whom I hold in high regards and have not seen in years, but they was always somebody having a chat with them! That is always a good reflection on a speaker.
