TBNSW CSU Wagga Wagga Breeders Seminar
Held at the Charles Sturt University Convention Centre in Wagga Wagga on 6 August 2026, the TBNSW Breeders Seminar focused on practical veterinary and breeding management issues affecting broodmares and foals.
Presentations covered topics including pre-pubic tendon rupture prior to foaling, pregnancy complications during mid to late gestation, and post-foaling colic in mares. The seminar provided breeders with current veterinary knowledge and management strategies aimed at improving mare and foal welfare and breeding outcomes. It also offered attendees the opportunity to network and discuss industry challenges and developments.
