2001 Plan For Kentucky Horse Park is NEET



       The Kentucky Horse Council has announced plans for a major equine 
exhibition, the National Exposition of Equine Transportation (NEET), to be 
held at the Kentucky Horse Park, March 9-11, 2001

.     The National Exposition of Equine Transportation,  (NEET), will 
highlight all aspects of equine transportation, from international shipping 
to moving your horse to the next farm. It will involve manufacturers and 
retailers of horse vans, trailers, trucks, and recreational vehicles. Also 
participating will be commercial horse haulers, including airlines, 
licensing agencies, federal agencies and more. Rounding out the vendor area 
will be  supplemental industries, such as tack, feed, matting and such 
businesses. All you will need to move your horse in any way imaginable!

        NEET will include seminars on: legal issues, licensing 
requirements, selecting a shipper, selecting a trailer, training to load, 
and many other topics. There will also be an open competition, a huge 
trail class, involving the facilities of the Kentucky Horse Park, as well 
as loading.

         Another competition will pit the skills of commercial drivers 
against one another in a road-e-O obstacle course, and amateurs in 
backing and hooking up, etc.

          It is anticipated that many NEET specials will be offered for 
sale to the public by manufacturers and retailers of equine transportation 
equipment.

          Complete details area not yet available, but interested parties 
are urged to contact Liza Holland, Executive Director of the Kentucky Horse 
Council, to be put on the mailing list. As plans unfold they will be 
announced through the equine press, and those on the mailing list will be 
kept up-to-date.
