For The Love Of The Horse: Utilizing Technology To Increase Owner Education

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.

This webinar is part of KEEP's Equine Workforce Initiative that began in August of 2018. The initiative has led the industry in assessing labor needs and creating solutions within the state to meet those needs. This has included showcasing career pathways within the industry, the creation of a nationally recognized horseman apprenticeship program, and the engagement of new populations in the industry.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion has also been an important focus of the initiative. This webinar follows an industry survey on these issues and was shaped by the responses to that survey. This webinar is the first in a series of industry-wide discussions about these issues and how industry stakeholders can take a leading role in ensuring that careers in the horse industry are available and accessible to anyone.
