2009 marks our 8th year holding short courses for horse breeders, mare
owners and veterinarians. We have received overwhelming response from
attendees and most observe that with what they learn at our courses,
they recoup the cost of the course on a single breeding cycle of one
mare! We are thrilled that our courses have assisted so many people
over the years! With gas, hay, feed and horse care prices going
nowhere but up, it is becoming more and more financially prudent for
horse owners to take greater responsibility for the care, health and
breeding of their animals. We at Equine-Reproduction.com, LLC continue
to assist breeders with that goal by having a website that is free and
devoted entirely to reproduction of the equine. There is no
subscription required, no annoying pop-up ads, and the website is
utilized by not only breeders, but veterinary universities, students,
equine reproduction specialists and veterinarians all over the world!
The website presents news worthy events, as well as articles on the
latest research, new technology and the reproductive management of
both the mare and the stallion.

Our plan for 2009, was to scale back the number of courses we would be
doing. However, we received such an overwhelming number of requests
to increase the number of courses we were holding, that we ended up
adding a few extra courses to our original planned schedule!
Additionally, for the first time ever, we are offering a course
teaching embryo transfer. It is a one day course offered after the
Cal-Poly Pomona, California three day course. In order to attend the
embryo transfer course, one must have attended one of our courses
previously.

As our way of helping with holiday gift shopping, we are offering a
Holiday Enrollment Special! If you enroll online before December 31st,
2008, the two day course fee will be $225 and the three day course fee
will be $325! That's a $100 savings off the usual two day short course
price of $325 or the three day short course price of $425. The
discount will automatically be taken when you enroll.

We are also scheduling stallions from whom to freeze semen while we
are traveling. We charge $395.00 an ejaculate to freeze semen, and
offer a package of four ejaculates for a discounted rate of $1,295.00.
We freeze in 5 ml straws and for most stallions, one straw is an
insemination dose. The average stallion will produce between five and
fifteen insemination doses per ejaculate. The process we use for
centrifugation harvests about 20% more sperm with less damage than
traditional methods, so you actually end up with a greater number of
insemination doses per ejaculate frozen when freezing with us. You
can store the semen yourself, store it locally to you, or you can have
us store and ship it for you. We charge $220.00/year per canister. A
canister will hold 35 five ml straws. If more than one canister is
needed, we charge $110.00/year for each additional canister.

If you are interested in scheduling your stallion for semen freezing,
please email me at kathy@....

If you are not interested in either the courses or having your
stallion's semen frozen, please enjoy the information available on our
website - and season's greetings and good luck with your horse
breeding endeavors!

Kindest regards,
