The Essentials of Horse Health and Soundness
The Basics of What You need to Know to Keep Your Horse Healthy!
Owning a horse can be expensive and quite challenging for many owners. Keeping your horse healthy and sound is not always as easy as we'd like it to be! This can result in moderate frustration, not to mention significant financial investments in some situations.
Do you question vaccines and how to apply them in your horse? How about deworming? Or how to handle a case of colic, why they happen, and what to do in an emergency like a laceration in your horse?
Do you want to learn how to monitor your horse's vital signs, increasing your ability to detect and monitor a problem should it arise?
Stop wondering or worrying! In this FREE course, I hope to relay to you my perceptions as a veterinarian, as to what is and what is not important, what to listen to and what to ignore, and give you the tools to make your own decisions.
Your veterinarian, your farrier, your trainer, or your boarding facility are all there to help you, but don't become completely reliant upon their advice. Arm yourself with knowledge and then the decisions will become easier and the answers more obvious!
