Editorial
We are well into 2014 already with the annual congress held in Kruger National Park behind us and again a
roaring success. The feedback we have had is extremely good both from delegates and trade. I have had a
couple of requests to include several of the talks into this issue and have included two for your perusal.
We have a new president, Dr Deon van Tonder taking over the reins from Allison, which we have to
congratulate on performing well and servicing the equine veterinary fraternity during her two years. We
wish Deon all the best for the next two years!
