The MFTHBA Membership Committee has announced their educational seminar series for the 2016 World Show and Celebration.  Four seminars have been scheduled for Monday, September 5.  All seminars will be held in the Special Events Tent located on Vendor Row.  All attendees should bring their own chair.

The education series will kick off with a clinic on saddle fitting presented by Hedgpeth Saddlery.  During this session, attendees will learn what they should look for in choosing a saddle that will properly fit their horse.  This session will begin at 9:30 a.m.

At 10:45 a.m., Dr. Erin McQueen of McQueen Animal Chiropractic will be conducting a demonstration and sharing her knowledge on Equine Chiropractic with attendees.  Dr. McQueen’s presentation will include a hands on demonstration, followed by a question and answer session.  Dr. McQueen will be available for additional appointments after the seminar.  You can reserve your time by contacting her directly at 515-509-5116 or at dr.erin@mcqueenanimalchiropractic.com.  To learn more about Dr. McQueen visit her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/mcqueenanimalchiropractic/. This clinic is sponsored by Darrell and Kim Martin.

If you are interested in equine color, you won’t want to miss the next presentation.  At noon, Lee Yates will present on Basic Equine Color Genetics.  This event will be the perfect event to ask questions about equine colors.

The last seminar in the series will be presented by MFTHBA DQP Administrator, Randall Dennis.  This session will begin at 1:15 p.m.  This session is especially important for first time exhibitors that may not be familiar with the DQP process.  During the session, Mr. Dennis will discuss the general procedures and answer questions.  The session will start in the Special Tent on Vendor Row but will move to the DQP shed outside the warm-up arena to show attendees how the process works.
