Feeding a horse with Cushing's Disease is a fraught business. Anyone who has a horse with Cushing's will know that one wrong step with an unsuitable feed can mean more painful laminitis for your horse. There only a handful of feeds actually suitable for a Cushing's horse, but company literature and marketing make the task of finding appropriate feeds a daunting and difficult task.
This Sunday the 25th of May the Raymond Terrace & Lower Hunter RDA and "The Equine Health All-Star Cast" are presenting the Hands On: Horse Health Expo at Raymond Terrace in NSW. The event promises useful information on all aspects of equine health care from industry professionals including:
- Dr John Kohnke - Veterinarian & Equine Nutritionist
- Glynis Nairn - Independent Saddle Fitter
- Charlene Goodworth - Equine Dentist
- Dr Jenny Stewart - Veterinarian & Equine Nutritionist
- Andrew Bowe - Trade Accredited Master Farrier & Equethy Accredited Barefoot Specialist
- And, FeedXL's very own Equine Nutrition expert, Dr Nerida Richards.
There will also be the 'handy hints' competition and loads of prizes (including horse health products and feed) to be won.
Cost is $50/person (includes entry, lunch, morning/afternoon tea and tea/coffee). For more information, download the brochure. Even though the brochure says that registrations were supposed to be in by the 19th, you are still allowed to just show up on the day.
It should be a great, information packed day and an excellent chance to catch up with some top industry professionals. Nerida might even show off FeedXL.
The FeedXL team have been working very hard getting FeedXL ready to release to the wild. We have a few major items to complete before we can open up access to all but the core of FeedXL is mostly complete and is working like a charm.
We are about to enter a period of Alpha testing the software with a small group of horse owners. The aim is to identify major bugs before we unleash FeedXL on the world and work further on the incomplete bits. Once we complete all of the major components of the software we will be moving to a Beta test which will involve a larger group of testers. During this phase we will be attempting to iron out any "show-stopper" bugs. If you're interested in participating in our Beta test, fill in a request to be kept informed; we'll be selecting people at random from this list so we have enough people to ensure a thorough workout of the software.
