Notes

Kindly supported by Agria, the UK's only lifetime equine insurance provider, join us for an inspiring evening with Honor Jeffery IMSc Veterinary Physiotherapy (HJVP) is delighted to offer an educational demo/talk on what veterinary physiotherapy is and how it can benefit you and your ex-racehorse. Honor will discuss the benefits of physiotherapy for ex-racehorses and their specific needs when coming off the track and into their new line of work; this will include a discussion into the change of tack and the impact that it has on the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, Honor will discuss behavioural issues that are commonly found in ex-racehorses which can then lead to issues within the musculoskeletal system. She will also talk about how veterinary physiotherapy is a really important part of making sure that each horse, no matter where they come from or what discipline they do, has the best quality of life and highest welfare standards that you can give them.

While people sometimes worry about the potential for increased health problems in a former racehorse, Agria’s lifetime equine policy —the only UK horse insurance which does not add new exclusions to your vet fee cover once you make a claim — will protect your partnership. Nor does the level of veterinary cover diminish as your horse grows old. 
Any Agria insurance policy purchased through RoR’s affiliate links will result in a small percentage being received by RoR. This applies to insurance policy purchased including horse, dog, cat and rabbit. 

Location and timings: Pontispool Equestrian dining room at 6pm prompt followed by supper (optional) at 7.30pm.  Refreshments provided, as well as the opportunity to WIN £50 of RoR gift vouchers in our raffle. 
 This is a great opportunity to meet fellow RoR members and be part of our supportive community, regardless of where you are in your journey with your former racehorse.
