Annual Breeders Webinars

Media Release - Monday August 9

Each year we bring together some of Australia's leading equine Veterinarians and Thoroughbred industry professionals, covering topical breeding information for the upcoming season at our ever popular seminars.

Together with Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders and Thoroughbred Breeders NSW, Agrifutures Australia, Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria, Charles Sturt University and other organisations within the industry, we are proud to share these webinars with anyone who wants to attend.
