The Breeder’s Assistant comes to Rancho Godinez

I am excited to announce that Dr. Jim Kubiak of The Breeder’s Assistant will be holding the Ultrasound and Mare Management School at Rancho Godinez in March. These classes will teach students how to conduct and read ultrasounds as well as using fresh and cooled semen for breeding. The class includes hands-on practice with ultrasounds and insemination. As a bonus, I (Twila Godinez) will be translating the classes into Spanish. Isaias and I have taken Dr. Kubiak’s courses and have learned so much! We highly recommend these course to anyone who takes their breeding program seriously. As a teacher, I must say that Dr. Kubiak’s training methods are fabulous. The students come out of the classes knowing that they can apply the training. Our breeding program has been built around what we have learned from The Breeder’s Assistant. These classes are not breed specific (in fact one of the fun parts of the class is meeting all the different people working with different kinds of horses).

The classes will be March 13 – 17 at Rancho Godinez. Click here for more information and to sign up. Also be sure to check out all of the classes at The Breeder’s Assistant. We have traveled to Ramona, CA to take the courses and have absolutely NO complaints. I can’t say enough about how essential these classes have been to our business.
