Veterinarians and farriers have a chance to be part of history on Saturday, March 16 when the new Equine Soundness Professionals ("ESP") organization hosts its first open seminar in Wellington, Florida. Advance registration is required to attend.
A date change was required for the new location.
The conference is designed to both introduce vet and farrier professionals to the new organization and to offer an outstanding program in equine podiatry. Membership in ESP is not required to attend.
Attendees will enjoy a continental breakfast and full course lunch served by the country club.
The fledgling organization has garnered notable support from the veterinary and farrier industry, with more than 10 companies helping to sponsor the event, as well as provide door and raffle prizes and on-site product consultations.
