As a spring reminder, don't forget about booster vaccinations! Call your veterinarian and be sure your horse is protected against  Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE), Tetanus, Rabies and West Nile Virus. These are the core vaccines for all horses. You may be boosting for equine herpes virus and influenza now as well! Based on multiple requests from the past couple of years, we will be including updated recommendations for vaccines and deworming at the upcoming Healthy Horses Conference!

We hope you will join us for our 5th Annual Healthy Horses Conferenceon Saturday, April 28, 2012! Healthy Horses is an educational day with a focus on successful equine health care. The day includes lectures, lunch and live equine demonstrations. The presenters are the board certified faculty of UF's Large Animal Hospital, and a brief summary folder of the lectures will be provided to all attendees. We have the same fantastic sponsors at this year's event, with door prizes as well! You can register for the conference online at http://conferences.dce.ufl.edu/equine/.   The University of Florida is dedicated to improving owner education and hope you will make this an annual event. It is a wonderful opportunity to see our hospital facility and meet veterinarians from all of our services.
