Product Description

Classes with Siobhán Watkins, Ph.D. are a wonderful opportunity to add to your knowledge of horse keeping and management.
This class will explore infectious disease and emerging equine viruses. Why should you attend?

Protecting Horse Health: The primary reason is to safeguard the health of horses. Equine viruses can cause a range of illnesses, from mild respiratory issues to severe neurological disease, and even death. Understanding these diseases is crucial for preventing them and providing appropriate care when they occur.

Preventing Outbreaks: Many equine viruses are highly contagious and can spread rapidly through horse populations. Learning about transmission routes, biosecurity measures, and early detection is vital for preventing outbreaks, especially in environments where horses congregate.

Understanding Emerging Threats: Viruses constantly evolve, and new strains or entirely new viruses can emerge. This class on will keep you up-to-date on the latest threats, enabling you to recognize novel symptoms and implement appropriate preventative strategies. With clinic and show season starting in full, the timing is right to learn.

Informed Decision-Making: Maximizing your knowledge of horse health empowers you to make intelligent decisions regarding your horses’ care, potentially saving money and providing the best possible welfare.

Class was held Thursday June 5th via Zoom starting at 6pm MST.
