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! At its inception in 2006, the Healthy Horse Expo showcased presentations by some of the best in the industry! The response from service and product providers was astounding.
