Breed to Succeed
Harness Breeders Victoria has developed a series of seminars with the aim of increasing knowledge and capacity of breeders across the state - we look forward to bringing these to you live across the breeding season but all sessions will be available in a library on this page after they have first been broadcast.
Seminars are presented either on Facebook Live (on Campbell's Comments and shared on our own Harness Breeders Victoria page) or live on site at a variety of venues, and be available on this page and our YouTube channel soon after. You'll find content on our Twitter & Instagram, and can add to the conversation, with the hashtag #BreedToSucceed.
We welcome questions on each topic both during the live stream (leave your questions in the comments under the Live feed) or by email by the Thursday prior to any event. Note not all questions may be able to be addressed during the seminar; where it's not possible, one of the HBV committee will be in touch with a response.
