The program of the upcoming Equine Industry Conference will present topics of broad interest to economic developers, elected officials,
real estate specialists, hospitality representatives, conservationists and of course, horsemen in the industry. The impact of the industry on
Kershaw County is known to be significant, and the Conference will broaden perspectives on how a community capitalizes on this unique asset.
The opening keynote speaker, Dan Rosenberg, comes with a lifetime in the horse business. Born in Israel in 1949, he grew up in Ohio . At
summer camp he came face to face with a horse named Beauty creating a love for horses that has never abated. It has led him on a
tremendously successful career starting with show horses and moving to racing in Kentucky where he was a supervisor at Calumet Farm and
subsequently manager then President of Three Chimneys Farm. Now President of his own consulting company, Dan has seen the tremendous
economic impact of the horse industry and he will share those experiences in "Why We Need Horses"
Conservation strategies will be explored by Larry Byers of Aiken, SC, representing the Equestrian Land Conservation Resource, and Ken
Driggers, conservation attorney who was the past Director of The Palmetto Conservation Foundation. Real estate expert and builder, Doug
Smith, a new Kershaw County resident will share information on developing equine friendly projects, citing some unique projects in
the country. Libbie Johnson, of Tryon NC keeps an amazing inventory of equine development news, both national and international, and she
will give conferees a "salad bowl" full of ideas.
In the afternoon Barbara Linke, Director of Public Policy for the American Quarter Horse Association Based in Amarillo, Texas will discuss the past
and future of the American Quarter Horse which ranks number one in population in the US. "America's Horse" ranks high in Kershaw County as
well. Bob Duncan will share personal experiences with natural horsemanship as an alternative to traditional methods of training. Diane Pikulski,
Executive Director of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, will discuss "Second Chances" given retired thoroughbreds through programs
like Seabiscuit Stable and the program established at Wateree Correctional Institution. The day ends with a reception at the National
Steeplechase Museum.
Saturday will open with a report on the industry from the North Carolina and South Carolina Horse Councils. There will be a round table
veterinarian discussion on the Competitive Horse – Different Disciplines, Common Needs. Guest vet Dr.Steven Zedler from New Bolton will be
joined by Dr. Jim Hamilton from Southern Pines, and Camden Drs. Jeff Witwer, Nichole Swinehart, Sam Tetterton and saddle fitting expert Mike
Scott. Saturday afternoon offers a self guided all discipline Barn Tour with box lunch. On Saturday night attendees may enjoy the evening at local
restaurants or choose the optional Awards Dinner for the SC Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association coupled with a benefit for the SC
Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. This festive party offers fine food , a silent auction and Hall of Fame trainer, Carl Nafzger will be the dinner
speaker. He has not only a sterling record as a trainer, but a little known past as a world class bull rider and a member of the Cowboy Hall of
Fame. Sunday morning will close the conference with Grits and Goodbye at Springdale Race Course.
The Equine Industry Conference runs January 16th, 17th and 18th, 2009. It is presented by the National Steeplechase Museum in cooperation
