Join us at Babi's Tasting Room where David Jensen, DVM, owner of San Marcos Equine on Alisos Canyon in the heart of the California thoroughbred breeding community, will discuss what it takes to make a winner.
From the very basics (ahem...yes, the very foundation of conception) to the importance of choosing who, what, where, when, how and why to breed - David will demystify the process, provide insight into the primary factors of genetic choice, discuss important challenges to breeding, and offer a better understanding of the nature versus nurture debate in horse breeding and training.
While the popular perception may be that with hard work, dedication and impeccable training any horse has a shot at the Triple Crown winners' circle, David offers this answer to my question:
SONJA: "But David, can't you teach a horse to win?"
DAVID: "Can you teach a person charisma?"
(Oh no, is all my hard work for naught? :))
Since 1985, David has been working in the Santa Ynez Valley specializing in equine reproduction, opthamology and podiatry. Join us as David Jensen, DVM, uncomplicates the process of what it takes to make a winner. There will be some anatomically graphic parts to the discussion. And it will be fun!
