EQUINE BODY LANGUAGE
To conclude, we would like to suggest to our readers an interesting new feature of this edition of Cavalli a Roma, which is scheduled in Hall 7: the “horse tellers“, experts who teach how to interpret the language of the horse, showing the techniques of the different non-coercive training schools with practical demonstrations.
The editorial staff of E-goTimes would like to thank Francesca Romana Nucci Efferre Communication for the usual kindness and competence with which she interacted with journalists in all the years she managed the press office of the event.
