Equine Reproductive Management Short Course Testimonial
“The Texas A&M Equine Repro Management Short Course provided a wealth of information that allowed my new breeding manager the basic foundation needed to go right to work in the breeding barn with a little assistance from me and my vet. He finished the course and brought home valuable tools for breeding and foaling out mares, along with working with our stallions. I am very happy with all of the knowledge he learned from the repro short course and I am very impressed with the amount of information that was supplied to him. I would not hesitate to send any of my breeding managers to this course.” – Dell Hendricks with Dell Hendricks Performance Horses
