A free seminar on reducing the risk of fractures and other bone injuries in racehorses will be hosted by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) in The Club at Goffs on Oct. 2. The seminar, which will be delivered by internationally renowned Professor Chris Whitton, is aimed at trainers, owners, veterinarians and anyone involved in the care of racing Thoroughbreds.
Whitton, who previously spoke on developing preventative training and management protocols for racehorses at Leopardstown in 2018, leads the Equine Limb Injury Prevention Programme, funded by Racing Victoria, the Victorian State Government and the University of Melbourne. The seminar will offer knowledge and valuable insight into how bone injury happens in the Thoroughbred and will outline best practice practical measures to reduce the risk of fracture.
Registration is required to attend the event, which will also include light refreshments. To register and for more information on the seminar, please visit the IRHB website.
