World's
First Farrier and Hoofcare Online Conference Announced
- Top Industry Clinicians to Present Seminars to Worldwide Audience
August
28, 2002
Lebanon,
PA, USA - The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center, in cooperation
with Thoro'Bred, Inc. and Horse Trax Impact Reduction Systems, has
announced a schedule for the first Farrier and Hoofcare Conference
ever held online. The Conference, to be presented over the 3 day
period of November 29, 30 and December 1, will feature 6 clinicians.
They are:
Mitch
Taylor, CJF
Barbara Page, D.V.M.
Rick Wunsch, C.P.A.
Matt Frederick, CF
Gene Ovnicek
Rick Burten, CJF, RMF
Topics to be covered will include a complete hoof dissection, hoof-pastern
axis, farrier financial planning, managing laminitic horses, preventing
lameness through natural balance, and a round-table discussion.
People attending the Conference will be able to both see and hear
the clinicians, as well as observe detailed information and literature
using their Internet browsers. Questions will be taken from the
"audience" in real-time at the end of each session, and
answered by the clinicians. The last session will be a real-time
round-table discussion, with input from the audience.
"This
is a major breakthrough in farrier and hoofcare education,"
according to Baron Tayler, Site Manager of The Farrier & Hoofcare
Resource Center. "Attending real conventions and conferences
is a great experience, but the vast majority of farriers and horse
owners can't take the time off to attend them. Or they don't want
to spend what it costs to attend. When you total up travel, room,
meals, registration fees and lost income, well, it adds up quickly.
Using the Internet as the delivery platform, all those expenses
are gone except for the registration fee. Online conferences will
never replace real conferences, but they will make continuing education
accessible to a much wider audience."
Every registrant will also be receiving a complete record of the
Conference on both DVD and VHS media, courtesy of Thoro'Bred and
Horse Trax.
