Description:
Registration is still open for the fifth International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses, which is being held virtually this year as a series of live weekly webinars April 6, 13, 20, and 27 at 12 p.m. GMT (8 a.m. ET). Each session will last approximately one hour.
"With nearly 300 registrants already, we are excited by the enthusiasm demonstrated by the Thoroughbred industry for what will truly be a global event," said Di Arbuthnot, chair of IFAR. "Between educating on aftercare best practices, offering case studies on aftercare programs in various jurisdictions, and showcasing the versatility of racehorses in second careers, the four sessions that compose the 2021 IFAR will be 'must-see' viewing for all who are impacted by the Thoroughbred."
The 6 April session, "Aftercare-Racing's Responsibility," will provide an update on IFAR's activities from Arbuthnot and feature perspectives from Yogi Breisner MBE, equestrian coach (U.K.); Jessica Harrington, trainer (IRE); Graham and Anita Motion, owners, Herringswell Stable (U.S.); and Nemone Routh, racing office manager, Aga Khan Studs (FR). The discussion will be moderated by international racing broadcaster Nick Luck (U.K.).
The full schedule of webinars, including speakers, moderators, presentation topics, bios, and the link to register can be found at internationalracehorseaftercare.com/virtual-ifar/. All sessions are free, but registration is required. Recordings of each session will be made available on the IFAR website. Those who attend each session live will be able to ask questions to presenters.
