Now Two Days! On Saturday, we will meet at the University of Arizona Al-Marah Equine Center. A full day of speaker presentations will be offered in two meeting room locations. Topics were selected from evaluation suggestions submitted by past attendees. These include feeding horses with metabolic issues, vaccinations, lameness issues due to saddle fit, equine disease outbreaks in Arizona, hoof care and farrier demo, and more. Two hands-on instruction sessions with one-on-one interaction will be held including leg care and wrapping, as well as horse care basics. A full schedule will be available shortly.
Sunday will held off-site at the beautiful Circle D Farm. Dr. Angelo Telatin will focus on horse behavior concepts and learning theory, on the ground and under saddle, giving you tools to use at home with your horses. Demonstrations will be progressively presented from on the ground work in the round pen through flat work and jumping.
