The League of Agricultural and Equine Centers (LAEC) is offering a summer League Footing Academy, August 4-6, 2008, at the Foothills Equestrian Nature center in Tryon, NC. Attendees are encouraged to bring a sample of the footing in their arena for analysis.

The League is composed of facilities that host and produce equine events and activities. The people who own and operate these complexes represent the center memberships. The Leagues’ mission is to support and promote management personnel and maintenance procedures at agricultural and equine facilities. They are a primary resource for industry education, networking and advocacy for their members.

The LAEC has scheduled their Annual Footing Academy and Symposium for January 16-21, 2009, hosted by Hardy Murphy Coliseum in Ardmore, OK.

Further information on the League, as well as an application for the summer League Footing Academy is available at www.laec.info/index.html.
