Equine Matters - Autumn / Winter 2016

Welcome to the ‘Autumn/Winter 2016’ issue of Equine Matters... ...produced by XLVets Equine practices. Now is the time of year for many people to experience the start of a new academic year, and we move into Winter and Spring. Changes have been happening here at XLVets Equine as well, with Kirstie Pickles, my former co-editor, moving on to pastures new and sadly stepping down from her editorial role at the same time. I’d like to thank her for all her hard work in the past year, and wish her all the best in future ventures. At the same time, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Susan Donaldson, from Clyde Veterinary Group as the new co-editor of Equine Matters. Susan has contributed many times to Equine Matters and we look forward to having her on board as part of the team. We hope you enjoy this issue and it provides some valuable insights into problems or conditions you may come across in the less inclement seasons. Happy reading!
