The Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry is holding the Educational Forum & Annual Meeting -- open to all breeds -- at the Hadley Farm Equine Facility at UMass Amherst on January 18-20, 2014. Although the topics are not exclusively about driving, We are pleased to feature Andy Marcoux, Robin Groves, and Bill Broe on the list of speakers. Andy's talks are "Interacting Communication with Your Horse" and "Teaching the Skill of Standing Still" on Saturday, January 18th. Robin will address the topic of "Training and Conditioning Your Horse for Competitive Driving" on Sunday, January 19th. Robin will join Bill Broe in a "Driving Clinic for Non or Beginner Drivers," also on Sunday. Sessions with experts in other fields include "Nutrition and Health Care for the Senior Horse," "Dealing with Cushings & Other Metabolic Diseases," and "Alternative Methods for Adjusting Your Horse." UMass Amherst is located in the heart of the Pioneer Valley. There is a lot to see in addition to attending the Forum. On Saturday, January 18th, attendees can go on a bus trip to the quaint town of Stockbridge, MA. Harvey and Mary Stokes Waller have invited the group to tour their private collection of horse drawn vehicles. Orleton Farm has been a horse facility for over 100 years and houses unique coaches, carriages, and sleighs that have been restored for current use. You don't want to miss this! The Norman Rockwell Museum is just a few minutes away from Orleton Farm and will be an optional side trip along with shopping along Main Street. There will be a pause for a sip of tea at the historic Red Lion Inn before the group heads back to Northampton for a night on the small town.
