Who's Who!
The Midwest Horse Fair® will welcome feed consultant Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D. to the April 15-17, 2011 event. Each year this equine expo, held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis., brings in an incredible array of top clinicians and exhibitors from all over the country. With the 2011 theme of “StarGrazing,” the Midwest Horse Fair® will be another opportunity to let the stars of the horse industry shine.
Based in beautiful rural Bayfield, Colo., Dr. Getty runs a consulting company, Getty Equine Nutrition, LLC, through which she offers private consultations and designs customized feeding plans to promote horses' health, reverse illness, and optimize performance.
Dr. Getty has been called a “pioneer in free choice forage feeding,” and her articles and interviews often appear in national and international publications. A former university professor and recipient of several teaching awards, she is a popular speaker, and is author of the book, Feed Your Horse Like a Horse, based on the premise that horses (and other equines) should be fed in sync with their natural instincts and physiology.
Horse owners and caretakers hungry for knowledge have several resources, offered by Dr. Getty, for dependable information on feeds and feeding: a growing library of articles and recorded lectures, quizzes to test your nutrition knowledge, plus a monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought, all available through her website (www.GettyEquineNutrition.com). Her teaching and advice are based on sound science and her more than twenty years as a respected consultant and practitioner in the equine nutrition field.
Started in 1979, the Midwest Horse Fair® has been continuously growing, with a strong focus on education and high-quality entertainment for individual horse owners, families, and those who just love horses. Over 500 exhibitors offer unique shopping and educational opportunities.
Demonstrations and ongoing entertainment, along with hundreds of clinics, seminars, and events throughout the weekend, offers something for everyone.
The Midwest Horse Fair® is owned by the Wisconsin State Horse Council, Inc. All proceeds from the Fair are returned to the WSHC and are used to represent and foster a unified equine industry in Wisconsin, promote the equine through leadership, education, service and communication, and to take a proactive role in the future growth and development of the equine industry.
