Upcoming Events
Foundations of Equine Health in the Breeding Environment
Friday, 12th September | Kildare | 11am to 4:30pm
Irish National Stud, Tully, Co. Kildare. Eircode: R51 AP20
Join Teagasc, the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise Campus (CAFRE Enniskillen), the Irish Equine Centre, the Irish National Stud, the University of Limerick and University College Dublin (School of Veterinary Medicine) for a practical workshop event on the topic of ‘Foundations of Equine Health in the Breeding Environment’.

A key focus of the event will be to familiarise attendees, in a very practical way, with the concept of horse health risk profiles. Attendees will create a risk profile for their own farms. Participants can attend three distinct workshops on topics to optimise management for healthy horses. These workshops will include discussions on proactive, practical approaches to guarding equine health which are easy to apply and integrate into everyday management tasks. Also addressed will be managing risks with mares, foals and facilities from pre- to post-foaling. The importance of defending against parasites and other pasture-borne sources of ill health will also be a key focus.
The goal of the event is to ensure that participants not only absorb the information but are also equipped to implement meaningful changes in their own management practices.
Equine Collaboration for Health and Outreach (ECHO), is a collaboration of the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise Campus (CAFRE Enniskillen), the Irish Equine Centre, Teagasc, the University of Limerick and University College Dublin (School of Veterinary Medicine) with the mission to provide support and education relating to sustainable health protection of equines.
