TRAINERS, don’t miss this one…

Trainer's please don't miss out on this opportunity. To be in a room full of fellow trainers, to ask questions you don't get to ask, and to feel things you don't get to usually feel is invaluable. Dec 4-6, 2026 at Shining River Ranch.
Eloquent words from the host, Kelli Worley, "To truly honor the horse, we must be willing to look beneath the surface. By understanding the intricate, beautiful reality of their internal design, we can finally promise them a better, kinder, and more informed standard of care.
Stepping into a whole horse dissection completely changes how we view these magnificent animals. It is a sobering, humbling experience that bridges the gap between theory and reality. When you see the unbroken lines of fascia—the connective tissue that wraps the entire body from the poll down to the tail and into the hooves—you realize that nothing happens in isolation. A restriction in the jaw can alter the stride of the hind leg. A poorly fitted saddle doesn't just pinch the back; it alters the biomechanics of the entire thoracic sling."
To register can be viewed in the flyer.
