Speakers and Topics
New Addition! Judy Wardrope on Conformation
How your horse's conformation influences performance, physically and mentally. Horses that are built to perform specific jobs learn more easily, display fewer resistances to training and conditioning, are less prone to performance related injuries and will have longer and more successful competitive careers. Because they are happier horses, their human partners are usually happier as well.

Equine Nutrition - Shelagh Niblock BSc.Ag. PAS What are your horse's forage requirements? How to make the hay in your barn work for you and your horse's needs.
Hoof Care - Gerard Laverty, C.J.F., A.W.C.F. The latest news from researchers around the world along, with current trends and ideas regarding hoof care and shoeing of the performance horse.
