This event is designed for horse owners, riders and paraprofessionals.

Shake it off - When headshaking isn't just attitude
 
Join Mike Hewetson, Associate Professor in Equine Medicine to discuss equine headshaking - Is it pain, neurological, allergies or plain old attitude?

• Learn about the myriad of causes of headshaking and why it is such a difficult condition to treat
• Gain an understanding of the available diagnostic procedures and how we use them to work up your horse
• Hear about how we choose the most appropriate treatment option
• Explore the effectiveness of recently investigated and upcoming treatments including whether electroacupuncture might be right for your horse
