About Our Speaker Program
The Russell Meerdink Company, Ltd. is proud to present The Horse Information Center's Seminar and Speaker Series. Throughout our years in the horse business, we have published books and videos packed with useful information for horsemen. Each of our authors is an authority in his or her field. These experts are now available to appear in person at your next banquet, seminar, clinic, etc. We are proud of the group of horsemen that we have been able to gather over the years, and we want to share this wealth of knowledge with the public.
