Peter Hopkins Joins Clinicians @ HorseExpo Pomona – 2 to 4 February 2012

Fans of Natural Horsemanship will be flocking to the Horse Expo Pomona this year as it hosts clinicians Linda and Pat Parelli, Peter Hopkins and nearly 2 dozen more equine experts. Over the years the Parellis have created a program that is based on understanding the nature and psychology of horses. Hopkins and his partner Greg Stockton are the champions of equine thermography, a non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses infrared imaging to locate area of concern for muscle and nerve damage.

Scheduled for February 2-4, 2012 at the Fairplex, the Horse Expo Pomona will be the Parellis’ first presentation in many years at any expo outside their own members-only tours, giving guests a wonderful opportunity to learn from the talented duo.

Based on a respect and love of horses, the Parelli method enables anyone at any level to have fun with horses and achieve amazing results, naturally. Parelli horse training avoids
using force, fear, harsh bits or mechanical training aids in favor of love, language and leadership or, said another way: relationship, communication and trustworthiness.

The Parellis are thrilled to be a part of the Horse Expo Pomona and help guests develop a better understanding of natural horsemanship techniques. “Miki Cohen always does a world class job of bringing the best of the horse industry together in one spot and if it’s good for the horse, we want to support it,” commented Pat. “This year we will be focusing on ‘Horsenality,’ the unique personality inside every horse and how you can motivate and get the most out of the relationship with your horse by using ‘Horsenality’ specific techniques that will catapult your success.”

Pat continued, “We hope the audience will add more arrows to their quiver of knowledge after our clinics. At the Horse Expo Pomona there will be something for everyone, and everything Miki arranges, from special events, to presenters, to trade show vendors is top notch!”

The natural approach to horse training is effective with all horse breeds, all disciplines and all styles of riding including Western, dressage, jumping, cross country, drag hunting, polo, racing, or simply happy hacking. Horsemen and women of all disciplines and skill levels, from first-time beginners to international competitors and Olympic medalists, have embraced the technique worldwide.

Mark your calendars today for Horse Expo Ponoma, February 2-4, 2012, and enjoy the opportunity to browse vendors, participate in clinics, and enjoy a wonderful equestrian atmosphere.

Jim Seffrin – Welcome to IRINFO 2012 New Orleans

IRINFO 2012 Opens Today in New Orleans

The 2012 edition of IRINFO is taking place in New Orleans from 22 to 25 January at Harrah’s Hotel in the French Quarter. Although the exhibit setup didn’t occur until the 22nd, it’s been reported a few United Infrared members have been in town for several days making sure the city is safe for infrared thermographers. Canal Street. Bourbon Street. Nightclubs. Gift shops. It’s difficult job. Perry Cabrera can only visit so many nightclubs, so the United Infrared crew offered to help.

This is the first suspicious store that an undercover IR agent is going to scan.
