Horse looking off to the distance

New season of 'EquineED Talks' available for 2022-23

The Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) has organized a third season of its very popular “EquineED Talks” series for horse owners across Western Canada and around the world.

Horse enthusiasts can enjoy the free education sessions from the comfort of their homes and learn more about different aspects of horse health from members of the WCVM’s equine clinical team. All of the presentations are offered on Zoom and recorded as a future resource for horse owners, 4-H clubs, Pony Clubs and other equine organizations.  

Each talk is an hour in length with some time for questions at the end of each session. The sessions, which are scheduled on selected Tuesday evenings, will take place between November 2022 and March 2023.

  • January 17: Horse health lightning rounds (equine research). Presenters: WCVM's equine-focused graduate students.

  • February 28: Equine skin diseases. Speaker: Dr. Michelle Husulak, WCVM
  • March 14: Equine parasites. Speaker: Dr. Amanda Butler, WCVM

The series features talks on topics from both the outside and inside of your horse, including equine skin diseases, equine muscle diseases and equine parasites. WCVM organizers also expect to add additional sessions for this season.
