Standardbred Canada and Equine Guelph’s educational partnership was officially launched with SC’s sponsorship of the Racehorse Respiratory Health Course, made available free to SC members last winter.
The ongoing Standardbred Canada-Equine Guelph partnership also provides a 15 per cent discount on all short courses for its member owners, breeders, trainers, caretakers and drivers to receive online industry training on The Horse Portal.
Equine Guelph has been a pioneer and global leader in online education for equine professionals since its inception in 2003. The Horse Portal was launched in 2017 and became a national success, partnering with 10 English-speaking provincial equestrian federations across Canada. It is a partnership platform for the equine community, available to everyone in the equine industry. The Horse Portal has quickly grown to include youth organizations, international safety associations, and horse racing partners including Standardbred Canada, Ontario Racing, Central Ontario Standardbred Association, Horse Racing Alberta and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (2019-20 Online Training Pilot Project). Standardbred Canada members will be able to access their page for information on the free Racehorse Gut Health & Colic Prevention course and ongoing 15 per cent course discount at TheHorsePortal.ca/SC.
Stay tuned for the announcement of instructors and guest experts. For those who have never taken an online course before, no prior online learning experience is required.
