The seminar was designed to help mare owners better understand the mare's hormonal cycle and the breeding process. It was a combination of classroom and actual practice.
BELOW: Note taking and discussion in the classroom, then Mark checks the mare to see where she is in her cycle as the group watches intently.
ABOVE LEFT: Mark explains that he will use a spec tube so the group can see the mare's cervix. CENTER: Joyce Atkinson takes a closer look. RIGHT: Jean Skipper and Sarah Burns "sleeve up" while getting last minute instructions from Mark.
BELOW LEFT & CENTER: Jean carefully finds the mare's cervix and completes the insemination process. RIGHT: Sarah Burns is next.
ABOVE LEFT: Sarah also successfully completes the process as Mark looks on. RIGHT & CENTER: Mark coaches Karen Aneiro on her technique and she does a great job!
BELOW LEFT & CENTER: Jacque Battle, a former "human" nurse, is able to make comparisons between human and equine as she completes the process. RIGHT: Graduation Certificates for a great group of students!!!
