Seminars
As part of the Symposium, our annual seminar series attracts attendees both in person and via Zoom with an interest in educational topics relating specifically to Thoroughbreds and their transition from the track to the equestrian world.
Makeover attendees will have the opportunity to sit in on three educational seminars and panel discussions dedicated to the care and training of off-track Thoroughbreds. Seminars will be free and open to all and will also be livestreamed. Details on individual sessions are below.

Latest Developments in Joint Therapies
1:45 - 3:15 p.m.

While navigating equine joint therapy options can be challenging, it’s easier when you have a good understanding of each treatment and how it works. We’ll discuss everything from corticosteroid injections to biologic therapies such as stem cells and take audience questions on the topic.

Optimizing the Management of the Sport Horse
3:30 - 5:00 p.m.

Our OTTBs were professional athletes well before we got them. Now we’re responsible for helping them flourish in their new roles by maintaining their soundness and stewarding their gastric and respiratory health. We’ll discuss common challenges when maintaining OTTB performance horses and take audience questions on the topic.
