Horseman’s Day, as part of the annual American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, just keeps getting better and better. And attendance is strong no matter where the convention is held. Most recently, the locale was Denver, Colo., on Dec. 8, and nearly 275 horse enthusiasts showed up for the day-long session. In addition to presentations that ranged from dentistry to Cushing’s disease, the attendees had an opportunity to attend a mini-trade show. Ten AAEP Educational Partners had booths adjacent to the meeting rooms, including Bayer, Boehringer-Ingelheim Vetmedica, Equus, Fort Dodge Animal Health, Intervet, Nutrena, Platinum Vet, Purina Mills, Pfizer Animal Health, and The Horse.

The presenters included: Mary DeLorey, DVM, owner of Northwest Equine Dentistry in Washington (dentistry); Sally Vivrette, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, of Triangle Equine Veterinary Services in Cary, N.C. (maximizing performance); Dana Zimmel, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, Dipl. ABVP, assistant professor of equine extension in the department of large animal clinical sciences at the University of Florida (neonatal foals); Christie Malazdrewich, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, assistant clinical professor in the department of veterinary population medicine at the University of Minnesota (Cushing’s disease and metabolic syndrome); and Ken Bedell, DVM, of Cornell University (equine motor neuron disease).

Continuing as part of the format were question and answer periods that spilled over into private discussions in the wake of individual sessions.
