Equine Reproduction Schools for Horse Breeders Enrolling Now!

July 1, 2012 - PRLog -- RAMONA, CA – July 1, 2012 –   Today’s tight economy has caused many horse breeders to re-evaluate their breeding operations with cost-savings in mind; many breeders are realizing significant savings by learning the skills necessary to breed their own horses.  Dr. Jim Kubiak, owner of The Breeder’s Assistant states:  “our goal is to give horse owners the practical skills they need to manage their own breeding operations, thus reducing the need and expense of using their vet to provide those services.  We have trained students who have been able to reduce their vet bills over 50% by learning to do their own reproductive services on their own horses.   They easily can recoup the cost of their training in one breeding season.”

The schools attract participants from all over the US & Canada, as well as Mexico, Australia & New Zealand.  Stefan Wielebinski from Australia writes:  “I just completed 2 courses with Jim Kubiak, and I cannot recommend his courses highly enough!  I flew all the way from Australia to attend, and I think it was worth every cent, and all the trouble of coming over.  Jim's courses are thorough and very much hands-on, so I can go home with confidence that I know what to do and what I am looking for. The small class size, Jim's great education skills, as well as course material and color charts give me the confidence that I can use all my new skills, once I get back home.”

Karlan Downing states: “(Jim) is an excellent clinician and has the ability to translate technical information into understandable ‘real people’ terms so it will be readily understood and used.  I recommend his courses highly for anyone who breeds horses- regardless of their experience.  The courses are structured so that the absolute novice will understand them while the experienced student will not be bored!”

The schools are taught at both the home location of Ramona, CA, as well as host farms located in other states.   The current 2012 course schedule, course descriptions and online registration can be viewed at www.thebreedersassistant.com/2012_repro_schools.    The maximum number of participants range from 4-8 students per class in order to provide adequate time for hands-on learning; thus, courses can fill up quickly.  A 10% Early Registration Discount is available for payment in full of course fees more than 30 days prior to course date.  For more information, call Dr. Kubiak at 760-789-8264.
