A message was sent out to the equine students of the degree I am doing with regards to a current horse breeding position that is available:
“I am the owner of a Warmblood Horse Stud in Australia and write to see if you have any Students or qualified vets with a specialty training in Equine reproductive work. I need a person to do the transrectal scanning for follicles and pregnancy testing , and all aspects of AI , including collection with AV from the stallion, AI of the mare with either fresh or frozen semen etc.
It can be someone who has done a certificate course to be a qualified horse AI technician as long as they can use the scanner as well as AI. I have a stallion handler and a fully set up facility do all this. You can see about us on my website www.coldstreampark.com.au.
There are 18 mares here due to foal from oct to dec and be rebred and a few empty mares. I need someone from this November 2013 to February 2014. If 2 students were interested to share the job that would be ok . I am offering a paid position, pay to depend on experience.
I hope you may be able to help to find me a suitable person for this breeding season and possibly future years.

This sounds like such a great position for the person with the right experience! It got me thinking that perhaps I haven’t covered this as a career possibility on this blog.
It is possible to be a reproductive technician without being a qualified vet. There are courses in artificial insemination that can be undertaken to be able to carry out this job for yourself or clients. In fact, my equine science degree covers a couple of subjects that will have me qualified to do so by the time I’ve completed it.
if you have a passion for the theory and practical of breeding technologies, especially artificial insemination, this career choice may be worth considering.
