Length: 93:36 Minutes
The USEF's Feb. 21, 2021, webcast DEI Community Conversations: Horses in Black Communities, featured the University of Kentucky's Dr. Anastasia Curwood on "Equestrian History is Black History"; Kareem Rosser of Friends of Work to Ride on "Opportunities to Engage with Horses in Urban Areas"; and Saddle Up and Read's Caitlin Gooch on "Developing Soft Skills Through Experiences with Horses."
The conversation covers such topics as equestrian outreach efforts to the Black community; how experiences with horses can teach communication skills, confidence, and more; and the deep historical connection the Black community has with horses in America, from the show ring to the racetrack to the ranch.
Moderated by Ashland Johnson of The Inclusion Playbook, the discussion also includes a question-and-answer session with the panelists.
