Safety
Seminar To Be Held At U.S. Equestrian Meeting
U.S.
Equestrian will be offering a Safety Seminar Friday, January 16,
from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, as part of the 2004 U.S. Equestrian Annual
Meeting being held January 14 – 18, 2004, at the Millennium
Biltmore in Los Angeles, CA.
The
U.S. Equestrian Safety Seminar will be a forum for an exchange of
the rules and information regarding a wide array of safety related
topics: headgear and concussions; medical coverage for competitions;
equine liability statutes; weather issues, motorized vehicles on
competition grounds, barn safety, and safety in warm-up areas.
One
of the most important concerns in equestrian sport is the safety
of both horse and rider. Join paramedic and Safety Committee co-vice-chair
Rusty Lowe, EMT-PA Dick London, Radiologist M.A. Aboussie, MD, attorney
Jan Dawson, a representative from Troxel Helmet Company, and Safety
Committee chair and competition manager Andrew Ellis to address
these concerns. A question and answer session will be held at the
end of each presentation.
The
Safety Seminar, sponsored by the United States Equestrian Federation,
Inc, will be free for all registered convention attendees and is
available, along with the four educational seminars, for an audit
fee of $20.00. For more information contact Krista Greathouse, Travel
and Events Manager at 859-225-6961 or via email at kgreathouse@usef.org.
