Equestricare is very excited to bring this workshop to you together with Off the Track WA Community Fund, an Initiative of RWWA.
Using our bone lab and workshop horses participants will explore the skeleton of the Thoroughbred and relate structural features to the live horse. This helps owners understand how conformation and skeletal stress from racing can affect movement and comfort.
