Equine-Reproduction.com
-- The most comprehensive web site I have found for horse
breeders. Lots of articles about both basic and advanced
equine reproduction topics; a wide variety of
"links" to more information about horse breeding,
artificial insemination (A.I.); information about, and the
use, of frozen semen; stallion handling articles,
"phantom mare" training, and other semen collection
methods; the collecting and processing of cooled transported
semen; equipment and supplies needed for semen
collection and processing; managing mares for breeding
(including hormonal manipulation and the use of other drugs
such as Oxytocin); and some articles relative to foals and
foaling.
