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

You won’t need a science degree to be able to follow this, as Dr. Marlin’s style of presentation is clear and easy to follow. Entertainment and education combined! Flair, LLC and Science Supplements USA are pleased to present this webinar opportunity.
