Welcome to the NEAEP's 2011 Horseman's Day Seminar. This exciting
addition to our Annual Symposium is designed to provide
a wealth of information for horse owners.
Questions that are commonly encountered in the horse
world will be addressed by well-known veterinary
specialists from around the country through interactive
discussions designed
to directly involve attendees in
each topic.
Speakers & Topics
8:30
to 9:15am - What Can We Do To Prevent Infectious Diseases in Our Horses?
This presentation will discuss practical biosecurity measures and
vaccination protocols that might decrease the incidence of infectious
diseases in horses. Salmonellosis, Equine Herpes Virus 1, Meticillin
Resistant Staph. aureus and Strangles will be the diseases featured
in the talk.
Dr. Tom Divers, DVM, Dip. ACVIM
9:30 to 11:30am - Why the Foot?
Over the years we have all heard the old adage ‘no foot, no horse’. But
while this idea is largely regarded as true, why? We are taught in vet
school that perhaps 90% of equine lameness originates
in
the foot. What is it that makes the equine foot so apparently prone to
injury? Over the course of this discussion we will review the challenges
that the equine foot faces, followed by a review of some of the adaptations
that the foot has undergone in attempt to cope with those challenges.
Finally, we will take a look at some of the things that farriers and equine
podiatrists might do in an attempt to help the foot manage the environmental
challenges of daily life.
Dr. Mark Silverman & Mr. Scott Lampert

2:30
to 3:30 pm - Advances in Equine Medicine and Veterinary Dentistry: Who
Should Provide my Horse’s Dental Care?
As a result of many advances in veterinary medicine, there is a lot more to
your horse’s dental care than just floating their teeth today. Horses’
modern day dental care is vastly better than what it was even a few years
ago. So the question comes, who should provide my horse’s dental care?
