| Description: |
This meeting aims to tackle some of the common problems we encounter in the competition animal, ranging from pony club ponies, through endurance horses to elite racehorses and eventers. The topics chosen will be those that are sometimes tricky to assess and/or treat, which have potential consequences for all of these groups of horses and ponies. The meeting is aimed firmly at the mixed and/or equine practitioner and should hopefully have ‘something for everyone’. The speakers are not only experts in their field but also excellent and entertaining speakers. |
