Dr. Ward hopes this will be a significant step toward helping you to understand your horse better. Bring your curiosity and your questions!

Speaker Information

Using Traditional Chinese Medicine as her model, Dr. Ward has developed five basic types and six combo horse types and temperaments. These types and temperaments describe the personality as well as the best training, occupation, diet, and management approach for each. Just as with humans, these wonderful creatures have different constitutions and personalities that can be defined and evaluated. Dr. Ward has worked in the field of holistic horse care for over two decades. She graduated from Texas A&M's School of Veterinary Medicine. She has published numerous articles in medical journals and horse magazines, including Practical Horseman and Equus.
