FROM SCIENCE to SUCCESS
Scientific Equine Technology is involved in many sales utilizing science and technology to evaluate and predict performance in the thoroughbred race horse. Over our 30+ year history, the work we do leads to ultimate success on the track and in the breeding stables of our clients. The following is an example of the results of work throughout the breeding industry.
