Standardbred Canada (SC) and Equine Guelph’s (EG) educational partnership was officially launched with SC’s sponsorship of the Racehorse Respiratory Health Course, made available free to SC members from March 22 – April 2.
More than 125 SC Members took part in the course which delved into reducing risk of respiratory issues in racehorses with daily management routines and improving the horse’s performance on the track.
The course featured respected industry experts as the course instructors - Dr. Melissa McKee from Ontario, and guest expert, Dr. Patty Hogan from New Jersey.
In the 2016 Ontario Horse Racing Industry Survey conducted by Equine Guelph, ‘respiratory issues’ was ranked the number one health issue. Racehorses are elite athletes and best performance can only be achieved with optimal health. Given the demanding life of the equine athlete, a high number of racehorses are at risk of several different respiratory concerns.
