The top professionals in the fields of horse health and natural horsemanship will be featured at the Festival of the Holistic Horse, October 28-29, 2016 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, FL. Holistic health experts from around the world will be on hand to discuss, present and demonstrate on the topics of equestrian dentistry, acupuncture, energy medicine, how to approach your horse’s health naturally and much more. The event will benefit the nonprofit, 501(c)(3) Parelli Foundation.
“This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Theresa Fincher, Executive Director of the Parelli Foundation. “It is a rare opportunity to talk with dozens of experts in one location. You can learn and ask questions, discover new ways to care for and connect with your horse, and get together with others who also believe in holistic and natural horsemanship. It will be an exciting event.”
