OVER 50 breeders attended the recent ITBA Foal Sales Preparation Workshop, co-funded by the Department of Agriculture Equine Technical Support & Equine Breeding Schemes Project.

The morning session at the ITBA’s headquarters beside Goffs was chaired by ITBA chief executive Shane O’Dwyer. It saw a panel of industry experts discuss the benefits of breeders developing and executing a well thought-out foal sales preparation programme to ensure their stock reaches its full potential in time for the foal sales.
