Day at the Races: Retraining OTTBs Seminar

 

Join CSDEA and the Minnesota Retired Racehorse Project (MNRRP) on June 12th for a day at the races!

We'll begin at the Canterbury Park Stablegate at 9:45am with a tour of the backside, including a chance to watch morning gallops, see the equine pool, and walk through the stables. From 11:00-1:00, Dr. Jennifer Selvig and the MNRRP will present a seminar on evaluating and retraining retired racehorses. Refreshments will be provided. First post is at 1:30, so you can stay and watch the races for your future eventing, dressage, or jumping star (admission to the races is free).

See the attached flyer for more details. Cost is $10. Registration online will be available soon at www.CSDEA.org or pay at the door. Please email Sheri Pederson (slpeders@aol.com) with questions or to RSVP.
