Help Buy a Rescue Training "Horse-a-kin"
Our local Fire Fighters, Animal Services, Search & Rescue, and Veterinarians are stepping up to develop Animal Technical Rescue groups.
To train and improve skills, they need a life-sized, 900-lb, articulated "horse-a-kin". This is the most costly piece of equipment needed to help the teams learn and maintain skills, and be ready to help in any regional equine rescue emergency.
Make donations directly to any of these organizations & agencies

FUN FALL HAPPENINGS
Martina Vogt, Parelli practitioner from Germany, Catherine Sapienza, AR Naturally, Dr Miller, Julie
UCD Animal Science Horse Day
HALTER & Atwood Ranch Naturally sponsored  a demo by Dr. Robert Miller. 
 
A large crowd gathered to hear Dr. Miller, who is widely regarded as the developer of the concept of foal imprinting, and is now focusing on safety. With more than 50  years handling equines, big cats, and exotics, he is one of the most engaging and down-to-earth speakers around and greatly appreciated by the large audience that gathered to listen and learn.
CSHA State Conference   
It was an honor to be invited to present at the CSHA State Convention.  This prestigious group of regional officers and State Board of Directors were a great audience and asked astute questions. HALTER has been invited to produce a LAR demo and training for CSHA members. As a significant equestrian education resource, many CSHA members already play important roles in safety and preparedness education, trail safety, and disaster awareness for horse and livestock owners.
