Join the IDCTA for an interview with Denny Emerson March 17, 2022 at 7:00 P.M. CST discussing his new book, "Begin and Begin Again."

We all start somewhere with horses. As a toddler on a pony. As a teenager with friends who ride. As an adult who always loved horses, but life just got in the way...until now. Some of us start over. We sell our horses to go to school, to have careers or babies (or both). We decide to quit dressage and start reining. We fall off…and get back on. There are all sorts of beginning places, and they can be for the first time or after a “gap.”

Join the IDCTA community for session #4 of their IDCTA Veterinary Zoom Series. After a tumultuous year, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics finally took place in 2021. Dr. Lisa Borzynski of Wisconsin Equine Clinic and Hospital was ringside for the dressage, eventing, and show jumping. In this webinar, she will share her perspectives from being part of the FEI team of 20 veterinarians from 11 countries that ran the on-site veterinary clinic and monitored the health and welfare of the equine athletes.
