These lectures are designed for horse owners, riders and anyone with a passion for horses.

There is a lot of truth to the old adage “prevention is better than cure”. Join us for this lecture where two of the RVC Equine practice vets will explain measures that you can take to keep your horse in optimum health. Discover why vaccination is not just a requirement for competition, but how it can prevent life threatening illnesses, how it can help in the management of sweet itch, and learn about the new vaccination against Strangles. Baffled by biosecurity? The speakers will detail the necessary measures for you to implement to keep infectious diseases and resistant parasites from your yard.

This lecture will also divulge tips, tricks, and the latest game changing drugs used in weight management, parasite control, disease screening and much more!
