HOUSTON -- Texas Cooperative Extension of Harris County will present Equine Health, a horse care workshop, from 8:30 a.m. until noon on July 15 at the Sam Houston Race Park, 7575 N. Sam Houston Parkway W. in Houston.
Extension professionals will show horse owners how to determine the nutritional value of different hay varieties and how to maintain a healthy pasture. The workshop will also cover the national animal identification program, common horse health issues and hands-on instruction for checking a horse's vital signs.
Dr. Floron "Buddy" Faries, Extension veterinarian, will join Harris County's Wayne Thompson, Extension agent for agriculture, in presenting the workshop.
"Horse owners need to stay up to date on the health of their animals and pasture management practices that are suitable for the Gulf Coast area," Thompson said.
A donation of $10 is requested to cover the cost of lunch. To register, call Diana Todd at 281-855-5600.
