Neglecting your horse’s health can reduce spirit and vitality—lower
strength, stamina, performance ability. And dampen your pleasure.
Make sure your horse gets a professional health check-up this spring.
Only the professional skill of your veterinarian —backed by his labora­
tory-can uncover many “hidden” health problems. This avoids big
trouble later—saves you money —and protects your horse’s
usefulness and value.
Be sure your horse’s health and condition is at its peak, for
a full season ahead of riding, showing, racing or working.
Contact your veterinarian for a spring check-up today. Ask,
too, about his “Managed Health Program”—which includes
regular check-ups, worming and vaccination.
