“Keuring 101” Webinar a Success

North American Department – KWPN (July 2011) – The idea for this unique event began in the autumn of 2010, following an analysis of the North American- KWPN keurings in general and the education seminars for our members specifically.  “How to reach more people with a minimum of expense for them and for us?” was the question kicked around by the seminar presenters and the Board of Directors.  “Everyone is always looking for more information, but the ‘How to get it to them?’” had been an ongoing dilemma.

Enter technology, our computers and a KWPN-NA Education Committee.  The first topic was easily selected with the keuring deadlines looming. A quick visit to the lists of questions the office receives gave an instant outline for content.  ‘Do I need to braid a foal?’ ‘How do I ride the IBOP test?’ ‘What is the Jury looking for in a jumper foal?’  ‘How is the DG Bar Cup (dressage horses) ridden?’  ‘How is a jumper scored in the Iron Spring Farm Cup?’ These provided a sampling of topics attendees wished to visit.

Registration for this unique event filled to the maximum capacity of one hundred in just a week – with a waiting-list beyond that.  The Board of Directors, Member’s Committee, and Keuring Hosts were each given a test-run for timing, questions, and familiarization with the software program.  For the real deal on June 28th, there were some technical glitches plus still more unanswered questions and requests for another go from those who couldn’t make it.  A re-run was quickly scheduled for July 6th, to include a longer session with interactive questions taking place.  The initial webinar stayed within its one-hour commitment, where the looser format ran almost 2 hours.

Attendees signed in from coast to coast and border to border of the USA and Canada.  Over 50% were non-members and had not been to a keuring; providing an opportunity for us to meet and welcome new keuring entrants, spectators, members and breeders.

Topics for future webinars are welcomed by the Education Committee at: kwpnna.webinar@gmail.com.

FREE WEBINAR: Monday, June 13 – Detoxing – Electrolytes – Equine First Aid

Multi-Topic webinar will discuss: Electrolytes in summer, Detoxing from our toxic world, & Equine First Aid

When it’s time to sweat, Electrolytes must come to the rescue!

With record temperatures and high humidity plaguing our horses, care must be taken to keep your horse hydrated and healthy.  That is when giving your horse Electrolytes is essential.

Sodium, chloride, potassium and magnesium are the primary electrolytes (ions) needed by a working horse. When ions are balanced, they promote water consumption and retention, which can eliminate dehydration and other health problems. Electrolytes will keep your horse well on those super hot days.

KAM Animal Services was often approached by clients asking if the company could create a product that would protect horses against environmental toxins.  The combination of man-made pollutants, contaminated feeds and water, and natural stress, such as storms or draught, result in their bodies becoming toxic.

If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right. Social media is hands down the most powerful marketing and business tool horse professionals have ever had available. It’s inexpensive, works well for businesses that rely on “word of mouth,” is an excellent customer relations tool and enables horse professionals to share what they do in a very visual, “next best thing to being there” way.

It has also grown and changed so rapidly over the last year that few horse business owners are fully capitalizing on its benefits. If you want to get more out of your social media presence, don’t miss “Smart Social Media for Horse Professionals 2011.”

* Integrate social media into your overall marketing plan – Get optimized for success!

Healthy Horse Tip – When Dealing with Horses – Get It in Writing

Sign Up for May 16 FREE Webinar

You may know that the Equine Activity Liability Act says that you “ride at your own risk.”  However, liability protections do not apply to all causes of risk and all equine activities.  A written liability release in any equine related activity is therefore essential for liability protection.  A properly written and presented liability release provides advantages and protections not offered by the law.  For example, a release provides an opportunity to receive, in writing, confirmation that the signer has read, understood, and agrees to accept the terms of your limitation liability policy.  This alone may even deter the signer from filing a lawsuit.

A successfully written release includes a variety of essential elements including, but not limited to:

Parties:  The parties to the release should be carefully identified.
Signature:  The signature line should require the signer’s full name, address, and phone number.  The signer should indicate if they are signing on their own behalf, or on behalf of their minor child, ward, heirs, representatives, and/or assigns.  A minor signed release is not legally enforceable.
Risks:  A description of some risks inherent in dealing with or around horses is recommended to further reaffirm those risks.  The list must clearly indicate that the risks listed are merely a sampling and not intended to be an all-inclusive representation.
Waiver:  This section expressly provides that the signers, on their own behalf, and/or on behalf of others, agree to waive any legal rights to sue for claims arising from their involvement in the equine related activity.
State’s Law:  The enforceability of the release may differ depending on the applicable state law.  Therefore, providing which state’s law applies explicitly in the release prevents a debate on that issue.
Equine Act:  The release must include the WARNING notice exactly as it is stated in the applicable state’s Equine Activity Liability Act.
Specifics:  Many releases include provisions specific to the drafter’s needs.  For example, some releases ask for the rider’s prior riding experience, authorization for medical attention, agreement to wear a certified helmet, and the rider’s insurance information.
