Equine Matters Autumn/Winter 17

Welcome to the ‘Autumn/Winter’ edition of Equine Matters... ...produced by XLVets Equine practices. With the dark nights drawing in and storms Ophelia and Brian to keep us company, it’s already feeling rather like winter is here! This issue has a mix of topics and something to appeal to everyone. Winter often brings coughs and sneezes and in this issue Colin Mitchell takes us through some of the different conditions that can affect your horse's respiratory system. Older horses may also find winter a more difficult time so hopefully some information on their care from Kate Chessman will prove useful over the coming months and beyond. Lastly, I’d also like welcome our guest editor, Sally Hodgson from Hook Norton Veterinary Group.
