Upcoming Seminars

One of the most important components of the VHCF's mission is to provide programs that promote EDUCATION.  To that end, we have two content rich seminars coming up on Saturday, May 12 and Saturday, May 19.

The first is "Know What You Don't Know - Protect Yourself Through Knowledge. Take Action."  This seminar is the second event hosted and promoted through our new Women for the VHCF committee that works to enhance the calendar with unique opportunities to learn, socialize, and support the Foundation's work.  Attorney Kelly LaPar of Lenhart Obenshain and Gardy Bloemers of Merrill Lynch, both of Charlottesville will lead this program on May 12 from 9:30am-1:30pm in the Appomattox Mezzanine.

Attendees will learn more about the Virginia Equine Liability Act, ways and means to financial freedom for women, and the ins and outs of farm and ranch trust management.  This program is FREE but only open to 25 participants. A buffet lunch is included.

The second event is a seminar in partnership with the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. "Equine Parasites and Managing Dewormer Resistance," with VMRCVM staff specialists, Dr. Rebecca Funk and Dr. Anne Zajac will be held in the Appomattox Mezzanine on May 19 from 1:30-4:30pm.  Discussion sections include "Equine Parasites: The Basics," "The Problem with Dewormer Resistance," and "How to Manage Resistance." There is a $10 seminar fee with light refreshments served.
