Veterinary Educational Sessions for horse persons of all ages
If you want to continue your understanding of the horse and get straight answers about current health issues this is the meeting for you. We have developed an in-depth topic specific program that takes the mystery and myth out of horse care and management.
Get ready for a day of fun interactive lectures, experience hands on activities that will leave an impression, participate in useful demonstrations, be intrigued by lectures with complete hand-outs, be mesmerized by cool video presentations, question and answer sessions that give you answers, prizes just because we can and camaraderie with other horse folks. All on a day that probably won’t interfere with your winter riding schedule!
All levels of equestrian knowledge welcome. We appreciate anyone who knows that better horse care is through education.

How the sessions work
We have five individual rooms in the veterinary hospital set up with hands on activities, specimens and prepared lecture with handouts given by qualified discussion leaders.
Each hour, groups of 5-10 people rotate through the topic rooms. We prepare the rooms to accommodate any knowledge level. From beginner to Veterinary School! All ages are welcome. We typically split into 4 groups, somewhat according to horse exposure and somewhat according to age with the adults mixed in somewhere in between. We try to make the groups as cohesive as possible.
There is a lunch break and two 10 minute intermissions. Groups have traditionally brought brown bag lunches or dishes to pass. Lunch is the responsibility of the attending group or individual. Tables and Chairs provided for lunch gatherings.
Sessions start promptly at 9:00 AM; we suggest arrival by 8:30 AM.
The “bonus” bandaging demonstration starts at 8:30 AM. The program is approximately 5 ½ hours long. We typically finish at about 2:30-3:00 pm.

Last years presentations included these topics
Bandaging Lab
Start the day with the Bonus Bandaging Lab. Practice using different types of bandaging materials. See what’s new, see what works, see what doesn’t. A perfect ice breaker session to get kids curious about horses legs and how to take care of them.
The black and white dots of limb Ultrasonography
Ever look at an ultrasound image and think, what is that blob of dots? Ultrasound images are supposed to look like something, so here’s your chance to see what they are supposed to look like in the normal horse and in the not so normal. Dr. Morgan demonstrates on a live horse the ins and outs of ultrasounding a limb.
Case Study in Lameness Technology
Go through a case from start to finish using the most current diagnostics and therapies. Diagnostic blocks, imaging with MRI, Ultrasound and radiography and the most current therapy available will be discussed for a very common horse affliction. Navicular Disease!
X-Ray Vision
The digital age has advanced Radiology to another level. Incorporate an anatomy lesson with X-ray diagnosis. See some crazy things that happen to horses!
Cool Specimens
You won’t want to miss this room. It will put some of the information that you learn about in the other sessions together. It will definitely make an impression.
