Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) is pleased to announce that the audio proceedings of the entire third Sound Horse Conference are available at the Conference website: www.soundhorseconference.com
In addition to making the audio portion available for each of the esteemed presenters, all slide show material is available for viewing at no charge. Originally the conference organizers planned to charge $75 for access to this information, but reconsidered that decision after receiving many comments from the public wishing the conference proceedings to be free to encourage those who did not have the benefit of attending to learn from these resources.
Multiple panels and workshops at the Conference included officials from the USDA, expert attorneys, research and practicing veterinarians, horse industry organization (HIO) representatives, experienced judges, sound horse trainers, farriers and influential industry leaders. Question and answer sessions from the audience take place following each panels’ discussion.
The Sound Horse Conference was held November 5 and 6 in Louisville, KY. The purpose of the Sound Horse Conference is to end soring. Soring is the illegal and cruel practice of using chemical and mechanical methods to create pain in a gaited show horse’s front feet to exaggerate their animated step, most prevalent in Tennessee Walking Horses.
FOSH is a national leader in the promotion of natural, sound gaited horses and in the fight against abuse and soring of Tennessee Walking Horses. For more information about FOSH or to become a member, please visit www.fosh.info or call 1-800-651-7993.
