Equitopia conference Fear and Safety

An Equitopia 2-DAY ONLINE conference: Fear and Safety for Horse and Rider

At Equitopia, we believe that interprofessional collaboration is critical to ensuring compassionate equine care, and this perspective underpins each conference in our thematic virtual conference series.

Each conference focuses on a single theme from the perspectives of multiple equine professionals – each adding his/her unique insight to the topic based on their qualifications, expertise and experience.

The theme of the second conference is: Fear and Safety for Horse and Rider.

Attending both days of the conference will be difficult for most people due to time zones – however, recordings will be made available after each session for a period of 1 week.

This conference will be edited after the event, and compiled as an online course, complete with quizzes, discussion questions, downloadable resources, and certificate of completion. All amounts paid for tickets to the live event, will be deducted from the price of this online course for a period of 2 months after release.

Certificate of attendance is available for free via email request to linda@equitopiacenter.com
