The Sask Peruvian Horse Club has partnered with the Alberta PERRU Club to put on this double point show, sanctioned by the Peruvian Horse Association of Canada, the Alberta Walking Horse Association and Friends Of the Sound Horse, an all breed gaited horse association. Our judges are both very familiar with gaited horses and are FOSH guest carded.

We are going to have:Full Peruvian Championship ClassesTennessee Walker Western, English, 2gait, 3gait classes and ChampionshipsIcelandic horse Classes and ChampionshipPlus Several Open Gaited Breed Classes for any naturally gaited horse,

Including a 50/50 stakes class, high point versatility award and some cash prizes!

We are also having a gaited horse clinic West of Saskatoon, at Avondale farms on June 12 2010. Our clinician will

be Daryl Olson, a peruvian horse breeder, trainer and gaited horse judge. It's a chance to learn to ride your horse to it's full potential an introduction to showing gaited horses and more.

The motility of sperm are divided into four different grades:Grade 4: Sperm with progressive motility. These are the strongest and swim fast in a straight line. Sometimes it is also denoted as motility a. Grade 3: (non-linear motility): These also move forward but tend to travel in a curved or crooked motion. Sometimes also denoted as motility b. Grade 2: These have non-progressive motility because they do not move forward despite the fact that they move their tails. Grade 1: These are immotile and fail to move at all.

Your veterinarian will determine when to call for the shipment of chilled or frozen semen. The well-timed infusion of sperm into the mare's uterus is based on the accurate prediction of ovulation. This is important because the best time for AI with chilled semen is in the 24hr leading up to ovulation. Pregnancy rates will generally fall if insemination is outside this range, this time interval is even shorter with frozen semen. Communication between veterinarians, technicians, stallion owner and shipping companies is a mare owners highest priority.

When it has all gone well, it is time to settle in and wait with the usual anticipation that mare owners feel after each planned breeding that they agonize over.

A.I Disadvantages• Veterinarian or technician services increase cost of insemination (Particularly with frozen semen)• Slightly lower conception rate means it may take longer to get your mare in foal - this is where it pays research the clinic, and facility options in your area. Ask the stallion owner for semen analysis and conception rates of stallion via AI (receiving technician or clinic also plays a key role in conception rates)• Cost of collecting semen, shipping it overnight and rental of the chilled container can considerablyadd to the overall cost• Timing is critical - success is dependant on a number of people, companies, government agencies (when dealing outside of your own country) and mother nature.

A.I Advantages• Reduce or eliminate travel for mare (and possibly young foal at foot)• No mare care fees• Less chance of injury to the mare (or foal at foot)• Lower risk of disease transmission (both venereal infections and other disease such as flu, ringwormand strangles).• Veterinarian or technician input can increase conception rate of problematic mares.• Expanded selection of stallions, access to characteristics and genetics that may not be available locally.

A.I Disadvantages• Veterinarian or technician services increase cost of insemination (Particularly with frozen semen)• Slightly lower conception rate means it may take longer to get your mare in foal - this is where it pays research the clinic, and facility options in your area. Ask the stallion owner for semen analysis and conception rates of stallion via AI (receiving technician or clinic also plays a key role in conception rates)• Cost of collecting semen, shipping it overnight and rental of the chilled container can considerablyadd to the overall cost• Timing is critical - success is dependant on a number of people, companies, government agencies (when dealing outside of your own country) and mother nature.

Fertility can happen with 100 million live sperm, a single ejaculate may have up to 120 times that amount,this means that multiple mares can be bred from one collection.

Mare owners should ask (and stallion owners should divulge) if the entire collection will be sent to a single mare owner or if the collection is split to

A healthy ejaculate analysis would be considered Volume 70 ml (range 30-250 ml) Concentration 120 million/ml (range 30-600 million/ml) Total sperm per ejaculate Typically 7-10 billion Motility Greater than 60% Morphology Greater than 60% normal. The motility of sperm are divided into four different grades:Grade 4: Sperm with progressive motility. These are the strongest and swim fast in a straight line. Sometimes it is also denoted as motility a. Grade 3: (non-linear motility): These also move forward but tend to travel in a curved or crooked motion. Sometimes also denoted as motility b. Grade 2: These have non-progressive motility because they do not move forward despite the fact that they move their tails. Grade 1: These are immotile and fail to move at all.

Your veterinarian will determine when to call for the shipment of chilled or frozen semen. The well-timed infusion of sperm into the mare's uterus is based on the accurate prediction of ovulation. This is important because the best time for AI with chilled semen is in the 24hr leading up to ovulation. Pregnancy rates will generally fall if insemination is outside this range, this time interval is even shorter with frozen semen. Communication between veterinarians, technicians, stallion owner and shipping companies is a mare owners highest priority.

When it has all gone well, it is time to settle in and wait with the usual anticipation that mare owners feel after each planned breeding that they agonize over.

Tweedsmuir (South) Provincial Park is one of the largest of B.C.'s several hundred parks.The topography of the area is extremely varied. To the east, near Anahim Lake, the Interior Plateau immediately yields, from an elevation of about 1,350 metres, to peaks of the Rainbow Range. The range--Tsitsutl, meaning "painted mountains" in the local dialect--is an awesome span of eroded lava and fragmented rock, offering visitors the full pallette of colours that spread the entire spectrum of reds, oranges, yellows and lavenders. Once you start to take in the beauty, the sounds and the fresh air you are ready to continue on with what will be an adventure that will captivate your senses and challenge your outdoor and horsemanship skills. Horses are welcome on a number of trails starting at the Rainbow Range trailhead. The Rainbow Range Trail is located on the eastern edge of the park and heads north beginning with lodgepole pine forest surroundings, then climbs upward through growths of pine and fir before reaching a small lake.
