Horse Lovers' 2 Minute How To Video TM  
How to Recognize & Prevent Colic

In this two-part video, Emily Haggett, D.V.M., tells you how to identify early symptoms of Colic as well as explains common causes. In part two, Dr. Haggett gives advice on taking steps to ensure you won't have to go through the frightening and expensive experience of a horse in full blown Colic. Remember, Colic is an emergency - always call a Veterinarian if you suspect your horse may be experiencing Colic! Dr. Haggett is completing a residency in large animal internal medicine at UC Davis. Check out the informative UC Davis Center for Equine Health Web site and Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital Equine Clinic.

Equine Legislation: Bill SB 254 by Senator Pat Wiggins re: Horse Sales
If passed, this bill will prohibit anyone from being a dual agent representing both seller and buyer, without the knowledge of both, and from receiving more than $500 in compensation. Anybody found to have been in violation of this proposed new law could be subject to fines up to triple the cost of damages, plus the cost of the suit, reasonable litigation fees, and attorney fees. The first hearing date was 5/12/09. If this bill affects you, you may want to keep up on the latest developments. Read and follow this bill.
