Conference Highlight
Networking!
What is one of the best ways to network at the conference? Start at the
region networking breakfast bright and early Thursday morning. It will be worth it! This is where you will begin the process of connecting with others in your region and with others who share similar center responsibilities. You will have a chance to get to know one another, discuss what networking would be helpful throughout the conference and set the time and place to share challenges and resources with your peers. Whether you are an executive director, equine manager, therapist or an instructor, this is the place to convene!
Continue networking Thursday night after the general session at the
Meet the Board reception and the
Fun in the Sun Exhibitor Party. The exhibit hall will be buzzing with activity, snacks and beverages, people to meet and prizes to win.

Equine Metabolic Syndrome
By Ashley Phelps, DVM, Chair of the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee
Equine Metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a clinical syndrome with increased adiposity, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia, affecting horses, ponies and donkeys. The underlying cause of the syndrome is unknown. Typically, it first develops in horses between 5-16 years of age. Most common breeds affected include ponies, Saddlebred, Tennessee Walking horse, Paso Fino, Morgan, Quarter Horse and Mustang. Read more. Or download the pdf.
The PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee encourages positive and engaging educational exploration from our readers - we'd love to hear your feedback! Please let us know if you have any questions about our tip or have a suggestion about specific topics you would be interested in learning more about in the future. Email Dr. Ashley Phelps, PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee chair. Thank you!
Please join us on Community Connections!
We invite you to participate in lively, thought-provoking, and sometimes controversial discussions on the online PATH Intl. Equine Welfare community group. No matter your specific interests (EFP, therapeutic riding, hippotherapy, carriage driving, interactive vaulting, etc.), they ALL involve partnering with equines. This is the resource for all PATH Intl. members to exchange ideas, ask questions, offer comments and suggestions, and benefit from some of our industry's most experienced and qualified people.
