Calling all livery yards!

From May to October 2008, the Right Weight Road Show will be travelling around the country visiting livery yards and other premises to help owners learn how to assess and monitor their horses’ weight.  We will be doing one Road Show weekend each month and are hoping to visit more than one yard in each area.  The dates and areas are as follows;
Date Location Time
13-15th June Essex TBC
25-27th July Demonstrations at the CLA Game Fair TBC
15-17th August Lancashire TBC
September Date & area to be confirmed TBC
10-12th October Hampshire TBC

All yard spaces are already booked but if you would like to find out if any individual places are available at these venues, please contact Samantha Lewis on 01953 497217.  Attendance on the day costs £10 with a horse and £5 without.  This ticket price includes an information pack containing a weightape, instructional DVD and relevant literature.

Not sure what to expect?  Please read the following comments from people who have experienced the Road Shows;

“Enjoyable and informative – one of the best (events) I’ve ever attended.  I came away much better informed and more able to manage my ponies weight.  The only downside is that I’m now compelled to mentally fat score every horse and pony I meet!  Delivery was focussed and informal resulting in a relaxed atmosphere that invited participation.  We had a wealth of knowledge available to us which was willingly given.”  Maggie Davies, Cumbria

“I found this not only very useful but also reassuring!  Thanks to this …both my horses are looking & feeling fantastic.  The only thing is now I am obsessed with fat scoring every horse I see (which itself is an eye-opener!)”  Stacie Liston, North East Scotland

“A very worthwhile seminar.  Helped raise our awareness of body fat issues & its impact on long-term health of the horse.  Excellent value for money.”  Sue Short, Bedfordshire

“It was a most enjoyable & informative day.  Excellent in every way.”  June McHardy, Aberdeenshire

“Very informative.  Dispelled a lot of myth with good sensible advice which is easy to follow.”  Jenny Sheen, Aberdeenshire
