Emanating from a mutual commitment to improve the lives of horses, the Kentucky Horse Park and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) are set to embark upon a new partnership called Healthy Horses.

Taking place Saturday, May 14 from 9am-5pm, Healthy Horses is a series of seminars primarily geared toward those who own or have stewardship over horses. Farm managers, backyard breeders, grooms, trainers, and those who currently own or anticipate owning horses will glean practical, cutting-edge information from the seminars which will be led by AAEP-member veterinarians at the Kentucky Horse Park on topics essential to responsible horse care.

Scheduled topics for the May 14 event include nutrition, bandaging, acupuncture, joint therapies, colic and reproduction. An equine trade show will also be offered.

John Nicholson, Executive Director of the Kentucky Horse Park, commented, “Horses and horse lovers come to the Kentucky Horse Park from around the world, which places us in the unique position of having the ability to make a difference in the lives of untold numbers of horses. We are proud to partner with the AAEP and some of the top equine veterinarians across the country in endeavoring to make the Kentucky Horse Park the equine education capital of the world. The more people know, the better they can care for these beautiful, complex creatures under their guardianship
