Provided by Clarke equine in conjunction with our staff, we will be seeing a live demonstration of the “lameness locator” on one of our horses.  Also will be discussing what every horse owner should know (routine care: worming/vaccines/Coggins/dentist/farrier) as well as common ailments (Colic, abcess, wound care, fever, tying up) and when to call the vet! Refreshments served.  If you work with horses, lease a horse, dream of owning a horse, or are lucky enough to own one now, you should see this presentation. At the end, wrapping of a foot and leg demo.
