About this course
If you’re preparing for your first stud season, then this course is perfect for you. Fundamentals of the Mare and Foal combines online learning and a practical day to ensure you are ready to assess, treat and refer the late pregnant mare and foal.
Before attending the practical day you will have access to online lectures covering the late term mare, the post-foaling check of the mare and foal, management of the mare and foal, foaling, dystocia, post-foaling problems, the sick neonate and when to refer.
You will then join us at Twemlows Stud Farm to engage in small group practical sessions where you will get to grips with assessment of the late term mare, assessment of angular and flexural limb deformities and case-based discussion on assessing neonatal and sick foals. Our speakers will also provide advice on what to carry in your car to ensure you are prepared for any eventuality.
The online learning will be available to access at least two weeks before the practical and available for up to 12 months afterwards.
This course is part of our Fundamentals of Equine Practice series. By working with leading equine practices we’ve developed 10 practical courses that provide the essential skills necessary to thrive in equine practice.
