Welcome to the first Equine Health Update for 2017 . The year is already in full swing and locally we have seen Cape Town host the International Thoroughbred Breeders ’ Federation ( ITBF ) AGM . The SAEVA Congress is nearly upon us , as are the pre Congress wetlabs . The tragic loss of Joseph Boening , who was due to present at both the Congress and the wetlabs , was truly terrible news . I unfortunately had never met Joseph but he was surely a legend in our profession and will be sorely missed .
We have included the usual mix of CPD articles , abstracts and relevant committee feedback in this EHU . In addition we have added some weblinks to interesting / relevant articles .
Thanks again to Madaleen and Vetlink for putting the EHU together .
Please feel free to send us feedback or suggestions for the Equine Health Update . Send us links to interesting articles and online learning resources and we will share them with our members .
