Horse Owner Education Seminars
The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga, Albany, and Dutchess
counties, and local veterinary practices will be co-hosting a series of
horse owner education seminars this spring with Dr. David Pugh of
Pfizer/Fort Dodge. A range of concerns such as parasite control, nutrition,
and colic will be addressed. These seminars will  include the most
current information about these topics. Dr. Pugh’s work has been
extensively published and he has received numerous teaching awards,
as well as being the recipient of the 2006 University of Georgia AM Mills
Award for contributions to veterinary science. These seminars will be a
great educational opportunity!

Dr. Pugh will be available at the following times and locations:
  • Monday March 22nd at the Cooperative Extension Farm and Home
    Center in Millbrook, NY
  • Tuesday March 23rd at the Cooperative Extension and 4H Center
    in Voorheesville, NY
  • Wednesday March 23rd at the Cooperative Extension Equine
    Center on Middle Line Road in Ballston Spa, NY

The presentations will run from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. There will be
refreshments available and a nominal $5 fee will be charged, the
proceeds of which will be donated to an equine charity. It is preferable for
you to pre-register with your veterinarian for these seminars so that plans
can be made to accommodate all who attend.
