About the Course

A day undertaking and practising sampling of the guttural pouch in horses alongside some short clinical presentations. This is a unique opportunity to practice this important clinical skill in the assessment of horses with guttural pouch empyema caused by Streptococcus equi var equi. Delegates will undertake examination of horses in a unique population of over 30 horses undergoing guttural pouch endoscopy as part of a robust biosecurity and strangles control program. Group sizes will be no more than 3 delegates around each horse / demonstrator.
