Dr James Dalley, a vet erinarian from the Michigan State University Vet Clinic, spoke on parasite and disease control, feeding and preventing lameness in horses. Dr Dalley stressed the importance of using preventative measures in disease and parasite control. To day many of the horse feeding problems are not from feeding too little but more from over feeding the horse'. A question and answer session was held follow ing Dr Dalley's presentation. Two movies titled "Horse Sense" and "Quarter Horse In Action" were shown to the group.
