Commenting, ITBA's Kerry Ryan said, “Over the last numbers of years, the ITBA Breeding Season Preparation Workshop, supported by the Department of Agriculture, under its Equine Technical Support & Breeding Scheme Project, has become a key fixture in [the] ITBA Educational Programme. A panel of industry experts will address the key issues breeders need to take into consideration in advance of the upcoming breeding season. If there are any topics breeders feel should be included in next year's ITBA Educational Programme please contact ITBA HQ on 045 877543 as we would love to hear from them.”
