Mounted Patrol-Scottsdale Police Mounted Unit (SPMU)- West Brown – Today the unit has eight horses, five full time riders and five reserve. Before being allowed out on patrol, the horse and rider attend an intensive five-week mounted police-training program. Due to the dangerous situations the mounted patrol face on the street they’re trained to be able to handle an array of obstacles and arrest procedures
Sport Horse Basics-Philipp Kast – Kast a professional horse trainer for the past 30 years specializes in Dressage and Sport Horse. During the Sport Horse demonstration he will focus on the rules of Sport Horse classes, discuss the proper tack, what the judges are looking for, and preparing the horse for the class.
eyeD™ Iris Scan Technology for Horses – No more branding or tattooing. No more relying on markings. Equine identification has evolved to more advanced methodology. Global Animal Management (a subsidiary of Merck Animal Health) has developed a 21st century approach with eyeD™ iris scan technology. Accuracy, simplicity and security are key eyeD trademarks. No two irises are alike, making eyeD the most accurate equine ID method. An iris scan is 99.9 percent accurate – more accurate than a human fingerprint. In addition, eyeD is completely non-invasive, eliminating stress to the horse and horse owner. To take the scan, a veterinarian – using a special camera – captures images of both eyes at a distance of 10 to 14 inches. The process takes just a few seconds. Verification to confirm identity is done just as easily. The eyeD identification can be attached to information such as health certificates, Coggins tests and interstate movement certificates. For more information and to enroll in eyeD, contact your local veterinarian or log on to www.eyed.com.
