OVERVIEW
Learn To Raise Healthy Horses in Central Oregon
Horses can live long happy lives and you can help ensure they do by performing fundamental health checks and observing changes that warn of trouble. And what more dramatic a place to learn about horse health than a rescue ranch. Walking a rescue ranch with a vet is like seeing a year's worth of health checks in a single evening. We'll be visiting four different rescue ranches over the summer with four different vets you can learn from.

Dr. Maura Mack, Black Diamond Veterinary
Dr. Mack earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University and most recently finished an intense one-year internship at Littleton Equine Medical Center where she honed in her skills in internal medicine, lameness, surgery and emergency medicine.
Dr. Mack did a fantastic job at another School of Ranch workshop, and we're happy that she's leading this one. Join her as she does the rounds at Mustangs To The Rescue, a local horse rescue ranch. You'll come away better able to do basic home check-ups, and to evaluate changes in your horse's condition that might lead to earlier care and better outcomes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I bring my kids?
Responsible, well-behaved teens are welcome. The horses on this ranch have been through a lot, and we don't want to put younger children at any risk.
How much does it cost
These workshops are free, and contributions are welcome. These events cost over $400 each to produce and it would be great to cover our costs. Any funds after breakeven are shared between the rescue ranches and School of Ranch, all 501c3 nonprofits.

Do I have to pre-register?
