Seminars

In addition to caring for your horses, we at Foundation Equine Wellness and Performance believe that providing client information is a major part of our role as veterinarians. In fact, we cite it as a goal in our mission statement.
To help us achieve this goal, we would like to offer seminars (at no charge) for groups of 20 or more within our practice area. The seminars will be in the evening and will range in length from 30-90 minutes. All we ask is that you provide the location and organize the group; we will provide the AV equipment, handouts and speaker.
Our office will work with you for dates, times, and topics.
