Webinar – The stabled horse – optimising musculoskeletal health by Dr Gillian Tabor
Following on from Dr. Kieran O’Brien’s talk, Dr. Gillian Tabor will discuss ways to support the maintenance of your horse during increased periods of stabling.
Whilst appreciating that factors such as keeping your horses stabled due to constraints from yard owners, land management, or your horse’s injury are not generally ideal. Gillian will talk through ideas to help your horse’s mobility and physical wellbeing during these times.
