EquineRepro e-mail list

On October 23^rd, 1998 a lady with tremendous foresight by the name of Jennifer Flannery recognised a need within the horse breeding Internet community, and created the e-mail list "EquineRepro" on what was then "OneList". With a free subscription, the membership list was soon growing! In the years since, "OneList" has been bought by "E-Groups" and then "Yahoo!"; and the e-mail list Jennifer created is now known as EquineRepro@yahoogroups.com, has grown to over 3,200 subscribers, and is the largest equine reproduction e-mail list on the Internet!

With over 40,000 messages posted since it's creation (as of June 26^th 2006), there have been an amazingly wide variety of topics discussed! The list description reads:

"Collecting, evaluating, cooling/freezing and shipping of semen; artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and stallion and mare infertility issues are all topics you can expect to see on the list. Please note that genetics discussion (such as color genetics) is not considered suitable for this list, as genetics is too large a subject and is deserving of a list of its own!

During breeding season, we get a lot of mail, so you may want to receive the list in digest form.

Our members include first-time breeders, breeders with extensive broodmare and stallion experience and reproductive professionals.

This list is strictly on-topic and tightly moderated to keep it that way!"

All of the topics she mentions have been discussed, and many, many more besides!

Because of the large number of subscribers, discussion is kept strictly "on topic", with general "chatty" posts not permitted. Although this sounds as though it is highly restrictive, and could result in a very tedious "straight" list, it has in fact resulted in one of the friendliest and consistently useful lists one could imagine, which is remarkably free of both unpleasant "flaming" and advertising! A claim which sadly all too few e-mail lists are able to make!

Subscribing to EquineRepro@yahoogroups.com is free (and there are certainly no plans to make it otherwise!) and is easily achieved by entering your e-mail address in the box below and clicking on "send". Please note however that advertising of any sort is not permitted, so please don't join with an aim to advertising horses for sale, stallions, or products - such persons will be prevented from future posting and/or removed from the list!

Important: After submitting your e-mail address from this site, you should receive a confirmation e-mail from Yahoo. You must reply to that e-mail in order to become fully subscribed.
In the event that you do not receive the e-mail, please go to
