Presenting Horse Owner Seminar

 

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

 

 

 

 

11:45 to 12:30pm - Clinical Disorders and Nutrition:

 Examining the dietary needs and management  of horses with clinical disorders such as  Cushing’s disease, Insulin Resistance, EPSM, EPM, Laminitis and Founder. Gayle Reveron, PAS


12:30 to 1:30        Lunch Break


1:30 to 2:30 pm - The Art And Science of Feeding Horses:

Determining body weight & body condition score and the  importance of forage, amino acids, protein and  supplementation in the  horse’s diet.  Special focus on senior horse needs. Gayle Reveron, PAS

 

 

 

 

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? 

 

James Casey, DVM M.S.
