Standardbred breeding advocates Harness Breeders Victoria are this year delivering their popular online horse breeding education series, Breed To Succeed, as a live event in Shepparton.
Designed as an opportunity to network, find a mentor, access industry experts and learn the latest news and techniques in equine health, feeding, reproductive technology and pedigree matching, Breed To Succeed will be held at the Shepparton Harness Racing Club in Kialla at 4.30pm on Sunday, August 20.
The free event will support both current breeders in getting the most from their investment and also give confidence to newcomers to get started.
Breed To Succeed will bring together expert panel speakers and industry trade stalls in an expo-style event.
Guests will hear from industry experts including nutritional researchers Dr Peter Huntington and Dr Clarissa Brown-Douglas, and equine veterinary medicine specialist Dr Francesca Worsman. They can also seek advice from more than a dozen trade stall holders from Victoria’s best studs, equine health and feed companies, and industry bodies.
More than $21,000 in door prizes are also on offer, including a draw to win a service to Woodlands Stud’s dominant pacing sire, American Ideal ($11,000), Alabar’s local star Vincent ($4950) or Llowalong Farms’ trotting sensation Pastor Stephen ($4950).
Ticket bookings close on August 11 or until sold out, and can be secured by contacting 5852 2845 or admin@nrequine.com.au
