For the Love of the Horse will host a webinar on Sunday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. called “The Role of Respiratory Health on Equine Performance.” It will be presented by Dr. Cristobal Navas de Solis, an assistant professor of Cardiology/Ultrasound and Internal Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.
The webinar will look at both cardiac and respiratory-related health issues, which are the second leading cause of poor performance in sport horses. Dr. Nava de Solis will discuss how the respiratory system works and how training and exercise factor into equine airway function and overall performance.
Created by The Competitive Equestrian, For the Love of the Horse seeks to provide “current, professional, non-promotional and unbiased equine health information.” Recognizing that there was a significant education gap between horse owners and veterinarians, the founders seek to bridge that gap through information dissemination, believing that connecting the two increases owner confidence, as well as benefits horse health and supports veterinarians' work.
Past webinars include “The Value of the Ridden Exam,” “Hay: What's In it and What Else Does Your Horse Need,” “Hoof Lameness,” “Understanding Colic” and more. View their on-demand library here.
