Equine Guelph Launches Research Radio
Equine Guelph has
announced the launch of a new audio podcast on their popular web site. Equine Guelph has
teamed up with Trot Radio’s Norm Borg and SSG Gloves to produce Research Radio, an online podcast updating you on the latest equine research by scientists at the Ontario Veterinary College and Uni- versity of Guelph. It will high- light the cutting edge discover- ies being made, and explain what they mean for the health and welfare of your horse. Equine Guelph director
Gayle Ecker says, “Our part- ners at Ontario Veterinary College are producing ground breaking research designed to improve the health, welfare and safety of the equine ath- lete. The more widely we can publicize their findings the more likely their work will be put to use to find concrete solutions as a means to that end.”
The first episode is
already available featuring an interview with Dr. Jeff Thomason and his study of race track surfaces and their impact on the performance
horse. The results of the study could lead the way to newer, improved methods of therapy and preventative farrier tech- niques. To listen to the first pod-
cast, simply log on to
EquineGuelph.ca. Click on the Research tab at the top of the page, then click Research Radio. For more information
