Educational Series
Each month, Northwest Equine Stewardship Center hosts an educational
series with topics ranging from land management and dealing with the
unwanted horses epidemic to holistic horse keeping and equine
emergencies.
Each educational series is different and is geared to provide
attendees, regardless of their equine experience, with valuable
educational opportunities and limited hands-on exposure. These
educational series are made possible by dedicated local equine experts
who offer up their time and expertise at no charge to the community to
foster equine stewardship.
While all monthly educational series are open to the public and
community to attend, a $20 registration fee will ensure your spot
and you will also
receive a full-color reference book to take home with you that relates
directly to that month’s topic.
For a schedule of our monthly educational series topics you may
visit our Events Calendar or

Dental disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, and resistance to bit
contact. For those reasons, and more, it is very important to be aware
of possible dental problems your horse may have.
Come to this month’s educational series to learn about what lurks inside
your horse’s mouth, what dental abnormalities you might encounter, and
all about dental care and floats.

of the fence, but they don’t know the dangers that green grass may
cause. At this month’s educational series learn about balancing your
horse’s nutrition, how to prevent laminitis, land management techniques
and much more!
The Snohomish County Conservation District will also be on hand to
