202. Horses 101 for Small Animal Veterinarians

Only available as part of a package
Small animal veterinarians may have little to no equine experience, which could create challenges and safety concerns when working on equine cases of abuse. This session will describe how society’s view of horses has changed and share general information about the equine industry. Attendees will learn how to safely approach, halter, and lead a horse and gain an understanding of equine care and nutrition, including refeeding syndrome.
