What is the basic care that every equine needs (and deserves)?

You will find the basics that you need to know in EquiMed's Guide to Equine General Care.

Can I provide for my horse's basic health care?

Most individuals, with veterinarian supervision, can perform the majority of routine health care procedures. These include wormings, vaccinations, basic wound care and foot care. All of these subjects are covered by articles in this area.

I learn best from hands-on training. Is there an equine general care seminar in my area?

Many equine practices and hospitals, along with veterinary colleges, offer public events where general care is the topic of discussion. Find an event in your area using our Events Finder on the Events Page.
