The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) will present two clinics in 2008 for veterinarians involved with national level horse shows. These clinics will share information and material to interested show veterinarians, testing veterinarians and senior veterinary students.

The clinics will discuss the veterinarian’s relationship with USEF, explain USEF Drug and Medications rules and how to become a testing vet, give advice for vets treating horses on the show grounds, explain responsibility with measurement of ponies, information on working with the FEI, filling out a Passport, etc.

The dates and locations for these clinics are:
August 9 – 10, 2008 Lexington, Kentucky
October 24 – 25, 2008 Anaheim, California, sponsored by AIRshod Inc.
