Horse Lovers Summit 2026 Speakers

Brady Case

Brady Case is the founder of Precision Equine Cryotherapy and a leading voice in the field of cold-therapy recovery for performance horses. His background originates in human athletics, where he applied advanced cryotherapy methods to help elite athletes recover more efficiently and reach higher levels of performance.

Seeing the powerful results in people, Brady recognized in 2019 that these same recovery principles could be adapted for horses. This realization led to the development of the Cryo-Kit Certification Package, a comprehensive training program that enables equine professionals to confidently provide cryotherapy techniques that support healing, enhance strength, improve speed, and optimize overall performance.

At Precision Equine Cryotherapy, Brady is driven by a commitment to research, innovation, and practical application. His goal is to identify therapies that truly work and to empower horse owners, trainers, and practitioners with the tools and education needed to deliver top-tier equine care.

Brady now works across multiple equine disciplines, operates in more than 40 states, and has trained over 65 certified specialists. Over the past four years, he has helped build Precision Equine Cryotherapy into the largest nationwide brand providing equine cryotherapy services.

Tammy Bailey Patton

Born and raised in Kentucky, Tammy Patton was destined to love horses. She began barrel racing at a young age and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture specializing in Animal Health. After college, Tammy spent more than 20 years traveling as part of a military family before settling outside of Kansas City.

In 2026, when Tammy fulfilled her youngest child’s dream of owning a horse, she never imagined that decision would lead her into a devastating journey as a victim of horse theft. What followed was a six-month ordeal marked by deception, relentless searching, and ultimately a hard-won recovery that changed her life—and her mission.

At the Horse Lovers Summit Seminars, Tammy will share:

• How she became the victim of civil horse theft

• How the perpetrator manipulated and misled her for six months

• The steps she took to locate and recover her horse

• The condition her horse was in when she was finally found

• Why an arrest has still not been made

• What she is doing to prevent others from being victimized

• Why horse owners must unite to push for stronger laws, including eliminating jurisdictional barriers

Tammy’s story is one of heartbreak, determination, and the urgent need for change. Her session will educate, empower, and inspire horse owners to better protect their horses—and to stand together in the fight against equine theft.
