The Island Horse Council (IHC) is partnering with Equine Guelph to provide its members short, easily-accessible training programs so members have the opportunity to stay up-to-date on the latest information and education in regard to equine care, welfare and interest areas. This partnership enables the IHC to offer continuing education and certification opportunities to our members – athletes, coaches, officials, facilities and horse caregivers.
