Women's Horse Industry Conference Now
Offering One Day Rate
In an effort to help women in the horse industry who wish to attend the WHIA's second annual conference but who cannot be there both days, the WHIA will now be offering one day rates. "There are a lot of women who want to attend this event but due to their participation at WEG, they are finding it hard to take two days away from their schedules. We are hoping these day rates will give them an opportunity to attend and make some contacts," states Executive Director, Catherine Masters. The day rate is: $80.00.
WHIA Exibitors to Be Featured On YouTube
The WHIA is putting together a promotional video showcasing all of the exhibitors that will be participating at our upcoming conference. As soon as it is ready for you to see, we will post a notice here!
Hotel Parties Being Set Up
Last year many of the attendees who came to the event wanted to get to know each other away from the conference and so this year many of the attendees are hosting get-to-gethers in their hotel rooms on Monday and Tuesdasy evenings. A complete list of these events will be sent to all registrants prior to the event.
Kate Richard Wilt To Speak At Conference
Horses; it’s a passion that runs through her veins – literally. With bloodlines tracing back to Merriweather Lewis, one of the subsequent founders of Churchill Downs, and relatives who both followed and had breeding and racing connections socially in New York, Kate Wilt’s passion for horses is not something that can easily be ignored. Her experience with horses began at age six, when she began visiting the track. Wearing her Easter patent leathers and hat, Wilt quickly fell in love with everything about the track atmosphere – the smell and beauty of the horses, the Shirley Temples and the extra time she got to spend talking with adults.
However, it actually wasn’t until 2008 that Wilt would truly understand the grim reality of race horses living in the racing world. After watching the heartbreaking breakdown of Triple Crown hopeful Barbaro on TV, an event which ultimately would lead to his death, Wilt decided to self-educate herself about the lives of race horses after their careers. Determined to make a positive change in the racing industry and the treatment of post-career horses, Wilt started My Racing Heart in 2008. My Racing Heart has expanded the number of horse-related organizations they help to include charities that assist backside workers, their families and more. In 2009 Wilt decided it would be the best time to introduce her newest venture – My Racing Heart Coffee. Creating the blend with Consumers Choice Coffee, My Racing Heart Coffee is sold today online at www.myracingheart.org to raise funds for various Kentucky equine charities. A graduate of Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, Wilt enjoys spending time with her husband Stephen, daughter Morgan and their four dogs Jezebelle, Clarabelle, Nelliebelle and Crawford when not hard at work promoting My Racing Heart, LLC. "Wilt is one dynamic woman and a real joy to know. She is one of those people who simply makes things happen," states Masters.
TRAINER

Through the eyes of equus
Denver, CO 80206
Behavioral and physical trainer and coach
New Breed of Professional who trains horses in a way that first and foremost considers the horse. With that I teach people how to understand,listen to and read their horses. I also teach proper riding and horse-care techniques that follow the same philosophy, with a concentration on understanding a healthy mix of the classical and that which is sensible. I train horses using the same methods which requires understanding and application of feel, respect and trust. Effectively giving a horse guidance and direction is only part of the equation. The other half is understanding and knowing what to do with what comes back from the horse.

I’d like to give a special shout out to Cecilia Stråhle Engquist, Personal development coach. After reading her product spotlight on the WHIA, I reached out to her to discuss conducting a clinic here in Las Vegas. We are currently developing a personal coaching horsemanship clinic to increase the awareness of how big a part human emotions are in the relationship with their horses. Cecilia will be participating in the Equestrian World Games this fall and will share her techniques with participants. The clinic will be held in early 2011. Thanks WHIA, I LOVE this invaluable resource you have put together for our industry. Charlene Peterson-Equine Suites and Concierge at the Painted Sunset Ranch
