Thoroughbreds outlined | Sarah Andrew

Dr. Rolf Embertson–a founding partner, shareholder and surgeon at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital–presented during the sixth installment held on Aug. 6 of the 2024 OwnerView webinar series which focused on the importance of a clear airway in racehorses, The Jockey Club of America said in a Thursday release.

During the event, Dr. Embertson explained some of the common throat problems in Thoroughbreds. He detailed how those issues affect horses, and how they are perceived at sales and during their racing careers.

A Q&A, sponsored by West Point Thoroughbreds, allowed attendees to post questions, which were then answered at the conclusion of the webinar.

Hosted by The Jockey Club and the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association and presented by Bessemer Trust, Stoll Keenon Ogden, and The Green Group, the panel was sponsored by Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital.
