In January each year, the horse industry gathers in Red Deer, Alberta to take in the Horse Breeders & Owners Conference. The 28th annual “mid-winter horseman’s escape” will be held January 15-17, 2010, and features what the conference has become known for: world class speakers, a wide range of topics, an equine trade show with over 50 sponsoring businesses and organizations and numerous opportunities for socializing and networking.
The pre-conference Stable Owners Seminar, now in its fourth year, provides a complimentary afternoon of education directed at the stable industry. This year will feature Lanier Cordell – Effective Marketing Tools; Bob Coleman – Alternative Feeds for Stables; Business Infusions – Stable Organization Using Software; and Scott Holmes on Arena Footing. The seminar will run from 1 to 4:30 on Friday afternoon at the Capri Centre. All are welcome to attend and advance registration is not required.
The conference officially opens Friday evening with the very popular “Open Barn” reception. Delegates have the opportunity to catch up with old friends, make some new ones, and explore the exhibits of what’s new and exciting in the horse industry. The reception runs from 7-10 pm and is well worth the early arrival.
