The Elite
Program suports efforts to improve the welfare and safety of all horses with
emphasis on racehorses, active and retired. Training a groom to recognize
early warning signs of colic or subtle indications of an impending injury
provides a direct benefit to those horses by enabling treatment that
prevents more serious and even life threatening illness or injury.
