Equine Tip From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee
|
|
Your Senior Horse Could Be a Star!
The PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee is looking for a program horse to profile in a two-part webinar on senior horse management. The first part of the webinar will cover nutrition and other important senior horse management factors. The second part will cover emotional and behavioral changes as horses age. If you have a senior horse in your program (age 15+) that has presented some health, management and behavioral challenges as he or she has aged, and you would be willing to have the Equine Welfare Committee profile this horse for educational purposes, we would love to hear from you! Step one will be a one-on-one call with Equine Welfare Committee member Jessica Normand, who is an equine wellness and nutrition expert and currently senior director of product research and development for SmartPak. Not only will your participation be an outstanding educational opportunity for all PATH Intl. Members, Jessica and other members of the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee will provide you with a personal consultation with the goal of helping the featured horse. Please have your program director contact PATH Intl. Education Coordinator Rachel Moore to share your interest in participating.
