Join us next March for even more learning and fun!
It is amazing what can arise out of small talk outside a barn. When Alexa Linton, Equine Sport Therapist and Laurie Joslin, her client and Natural Hoof Trimmer, first discussed the idea of organizing an event dedicated to complementary therapy for horses, they were thinking small. Well, so much for that! In it's first inception the Healthy Horse Expo 2006 showcased presentations by some of the best in the industry! The response from service and product providers was astounding. The first ever event in Western Canada completely dedicated to Equine and Animal Wellness, it was a great honour to have been the vehicle by which vendors and practitioners brought their health promoting products and services to treat both horse and rider.
This year, we are happy to be once again creating a venue for horse and animal people alike to gain knowledge, meet health practioners, and discover products designed to enhance the health of their animals. Join us from 10-4pm, Saturday, March 28, 2009 at the Saanich Fairgrounds (1528 Stelly's X Rd) in beautiful Victoria, BC for a great day! Details about presentors and exhibitors to come!
