It will focus on the importance of regular veterinary examination, formulation of a targeted treatment plan and rehabilitation of competition horses. The webinar will review the diagnosis, treatment and management of common injuries in dressage, eventing and show jumping horses, whilst considering drug withdrawal periods for medication control and ensuring optimal treatment for the horse.
