About the course
The Fundamentals of Reproduction: the Mare will provide you with an introduction to assessing mares prior and during the breeding season for natural covering and AI programs together with identifying and treating the problem mare, pregnancy diagnosis and investigation of abortion. It is an ideal course to prepare you for your first stud season.
The course combines online learning and a practical day. Before attending the practical day you will have access to five online lectures including the breeding soundness examination including swabs and health requirements of the mare, the oestrous cycle and its management, preparing the mare for natural covering or AI, post breeding treatments and the problem mare, ultrasonography of the uterus and ovaries and the investigation of abortion.
Our online lectures will prepare you for your practical day at Twemlows Hall. Small group sessions will include breeding soundness examinations, subfertile mare, hormone use and routine scanning. For the practical sessions you will be split into small groups according to your scanning ability and advice will be given on routine scanning and decision making.
This course is part of our Fundamentals of Equine Practice series. By working with leading equine practices we’ve developed 10 practical courses that provide the essential skills necessary to thrive in equine practice. See the rest of the series.
