Yep! we have turned the calendar over to another year.  I'm looking forward to the 2019 Trainers' Exam Prep Class schedule. First offering will be in South Florida in February followed by the 18th Lone Star Park TExP the first of April. Exact dates will be forthcoming. Florida HBPA decided to not do Groom Elite classes in 2019 so an eleven year run ends this year. I may be back there in 2020 but we will have to wait and see. I am going to schedule a Trainers Exam Prep Class for Ocala or possibly Tampa since I will not be holding class at Gulfsream Park.  I will post that class by January 8th, so check back for that update.  I am going to schedule a Philosophy and Methods of Training class for Lexington in March. I will confirm those dates by January 11 and start promoting. For 2019 I am using Google Forms to get information from those that are interested in classes.  Even if you signed up before and are on my mailing list, please sign up with this form and that will give me everyone on the same database I I can more effectively let you know about all of the classes that are being offered in 2019. So, if you have already signed up before, or you are interested in being on the mailing list for 2019 classes and clinics, SIGN UP BY CLICKING HERE.


Owner Groom Elite Workshops will also be scheduled in 2019. This class covers materials covered in Basic Grooming 099 and Groom Elite 101. Horse Behavior and Handling, Height, Weight Body Condition Scoring (especially useful for retired racehorse owners), Front & rear leg bones; Common injuries; Foot and foot care; Hay, Feeding and Digestive System Anatomy; Health Check, colic and laminitis.  In addition to those subjects, participants are introduced to bandaging, tack, equipment and will get hands on opportunity to tack a racehorse with exercise tack.  In 2019 OGE workshops will be scheduled in Kentucky, Mid-Atlantic area and California. If you have group of owners and woujld like to discuss a private class for your group. EMAIL ME with your interest and we will discuss arrangements.

Writing. I'm continuing to "write that book". Events of January 2018 suggested that I complete this book sooner rather than later. You can follow my progress by reading "exerpts" plus other ramblings by following me on Medium. CLICK HERE to go there now and get started.
