Like humans, horses are living longer than their predecessors and, equally, as they start to age, will show signs of grey around the eyes, ears and muzzle, possibly deep lines and depressions on the face and some muscle degeneration. What may not be so apparent is difficulty eating, Laminitis, Arthritis, Cushing’s disease and Cataracts. The Remus elderly horse seminar will alert horse owners to these issues, providing information, tips and advice on what to look for and how to detect and address any developing problems early, with a view to minimising any discomfort to the horse and prolonging its life and wellbeing. The following experts will be presenting during the day: - Mark Murrell MA, VetMB, CertES(Orth) - Tracey Hammond MSc (Dist) Equine Nutritionist of Dengie Feeds - Dr Jo Ireland BVMS PhD Cert AVP(EM) MRCVS of Animal Health Trust - Dena Schwartz, MICHT, ISAAP of The Holistic Approach - Rachael Grundon, Clinician in Ophthalmology of Animal Health Trust Sue Burton, founder of Remus Horse Sanctuary in 1983, said, “we know that horses have differing needs as they advance in age and we need to educate horse owners of these needs. Earlier this year we took in a mare at 47 years of age, in a pitiful state, but with a lot of care and attention, the right food and the right treatment, we’re already seeing her put on weight and improving her quality of life. It’s a joy to see.” For further information, visit www.remussanctuary.org or contact Sue Burton on tel: 01277 356191. Companies interested in sponsoring the event should contact Sue Burton directly.
