The American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) is proud to announce our partnership with Independent Equine Agents to bring leading equine business consultants for the ASHA Continuing Education Sessions at the upcoming 2020 UPHA National Conference. The support of Independent Equine Agents is making over six hours of educational, interactive, and enrichment programming possible for conference attendees and ASHA members.

All attendees with horse businesses mark your agendas to attend Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. The focus of these sessions will be to give attendees tools to build a better business through digital marketing and business planning. Guest speakers Chad Mendell and Elisabeth McMillan are industry leaders with decades of experience helping horsemen succeed. These speakers are made possible by this sponsorship from Independent Equine Agents. ASHA Continuing Education is not just an opportunity to listen to subject experts but engage and actively learn in a workshop environment.
