“I have been involved in horse management for over 30 years, as a trainer and breeder. I have taught and given seminars throughout Europe on Arabian Horse breeding and training, I'm well acquainted with the practices in the horse industry concerning Horse Reproduction. There is no question in my mind that I came away from the school with much more awareness and knowledge than I could possibly imagine. Well worth the time spent, I will be there again.”
