Background
The “Equitarian Initiative”, proposed by The American Association of
Equine Practitioners and The AAEP Foundation, is aimed to encourage the
actions of people interested in helping equines in need.
It has been an effective way to establish a network to facilitate the interplay
of professionals, technicians, students, education workers, donors and
owners in the world of working equines, to develop programs of service to
communities.
The 1st Equitarian Workshop was organized by AAEP, AAEP Foundation
and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National Autonomous
University of Mexico, in partnership with The Donkey Sanctuary, The World
Horse Welfare and The Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association,
with the support of The Mexican Association of Equine Practitioners and
The Mexican Association of Equine Veterinary Dentists.
It was successfully held in October 2010, offering space in which ideas,
knowledge and experiences were shared among individuals and
institutions interested in both improving equine welfare and developing
strategies for future work.

Description
In 2011, CEIEGT-FMVZ-UNAM will host the 2nd Equitarian Workshop.
Professionals, technicians and students interested in helping equines will
participate to gain experience to either start new programs or reinforce
those already established.
The meeting will offer the participants the opportunity of widening their
knowledge in social, cultural and economic aspects, as well as means of
programs delivery in the field, necessary to help communities depending
on working equines.
This year, a new station for hands-on education and building community
partnerships will be included to reinforce and advance the knowledge of
participants in these areas. Essential to achieve long-lasting advances.
Communities in tropical, sub-tropical, humid temperate and semi-arid
environments will be visited, allowing the participants to face an
interesting variety of conditions affecting the welfare of equines.
