Join us for March’s EquineEd featuring Sarah Coleman from the Kentucky Horse Council!
Horses can be expensive, but what happens if a conscientious owner finds herself in a perilous financial situation? Join us to learn about the Kentucky Horse Council’s safety net services, which are designed to protect horses in the Commonwealth. Additional welfare programs available to horses nationwide will also be discussed. It can be hard to ask for help – but knowing what resources are available can make asking for assistance easier.
The EquineEd event will take place in the Kentucky Horse Park Visitor Center on Saturday, March 2 at 12:30pm. As always, the lectures are FREE and open to the public.
