Pain Explained

Is your horse in pain... or just being a pain?

Changes in behaviour, poor performance, girthiness, reluctance to work, or subtle changes under saddle are often dismissed as "naughty" behaviour, but what if your horse is trying to tell you something?

Join Seymour Equine Clinic for an informative evening dedicated to recognising and managing pain in horses.

Our veterinarians will discuss:
• How to recognise the common signs of pain
• The difference between mild, manageable and acute pain
• The next steps to take when you suspect your horse is in pain
• Practical advice to help you make informed decisions about your horse's health

We're also excited to welcome a special guest speaker from Kentucky Equine Research (KER)!

☕ Refreshments
A selection of light refreshments, including tea and coffee, will be provided throughout the evening. Additional drinks will be available for purchase from the bar.

🎨 Bringing the kids?
A kids' corner with colouring activities will be available to help keep little ones entertained during the seminar

🧡 Supporting a Great Cause
All proceeds from the evening will be donated to the State Emergency Service (SES).

Whether you're a pleasure rider, competitor, breeder, or simply passionate about equine health, this seminar will provide practical knowledge you can apply at home.
