Webinar on the Amazing Athletic Ability of the Horse

April 17, 2020

Apr 19 Webinar Twitter 2

Sunday, April 19 at 4 p.m. CST

It’s about the horse™  

Horses perform incredible athletic feats, most of the time while also carrying a rider as they run fast, run for long distances, perform complex movements and more! They are certainly amongst the elite of the animal kingdom. In a webinar this Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. CST, join Dr. David Marlin, an expert in equine physiology, to explore what makes horses unique from other animals in their athletic abilities. Tickets to attend the one-hour webinar are $4 USD and all proceeds will be donated to the Retired Racehorse Project. Limited to the first 100 participants, sign-up now at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-horse-is-an-amazing-athlete-how-does-it-do-it-dr-david-marlin-tickets-102894279560
