Join Dr. Lynne Wimmer for a practical, hands-on workshop designed to help horse owners and caregivers recognize important changes, gather useful information, and communicate clearly with their veterinarian when something doesn’t look right.
We’ll move beyond simply memorizing a list of emergencies and practice something far more useful: looking at the horse in front of you, noticing what changed, and deciding what needs to happen next.
We’ll work through real-world situations and practice the skills that help when normal suddenly changes.
Throughout the morning, we’ll work through realistic horse-care scenarios and practice asking three important questions: What do I notice? What else do I need to know? What do I do next?
Winter weather may change drinking, feeding, movement, and management patterns. We’ll pay special attention to water intake, hydration, appetite, manure, activity, and changes that may accompany digestive trouble or colic.
You’ll learn how the observations you already make around the barn can give your veterinarian valuable information when something changes.
Your $50 registration goes to Iron Giants Draft Horse Rescue and helps support the horses in their care.
Come ready to observe, ask questions, handle emergency equipment, work through real-life scenarios—and leave better prepared for the unexpected.
