About this course

Back again for 2025 after being sold out in 2024, practical foaling and dystocia is led by experts in the field offering a combination of incredibly hands-on training and in-depth discussions to provide invaluable insights into mare dystocia. From straightforward foalings to intricate salvage operations and fetotomies, you will gain the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to handle a variety of scenarios and know when and how to refer or call it a day. 

Bring your waterproofs and prepare to get down on the ground to “foal” using models, correct common malpresentations using cadaver foals and hone your skills in using fetotomy wire. There are no other courses in Europe offering this experience, you don’t want to miss it.
