Horse Racing Partners

In a 2016 Equine Guelph survey, over 70% of the racing industry agreed that the industry would benefit from education/training opportunities for grooms and trainers. As a result, Equine Guelph developed The Horse Portal to deliver flexible, practical online short courses for trainers and grooms in the racing industry. The courses feature well-respected experts from the racing industry and include community discussions and chat forums.

Racehorses are elite athletes required to perform at high levels of exertion while facing unique environmental and nutritional challenges. Equine Guelph’s short course will help caregivers address major healthcare issues. These common sense online programs will help you and your horses perform at their best!
