Horse Management Seminars Planned

     CLEMSON -- A series of horse management seminars will be
offered by Clemson University in November.
     Originating from the university, the programs will be down
linked to some county Clemson Extension offices and other sites
on Nov. 10 and 17 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Interaction with the
audience will be available at all sites.
     The Nov. 10 session will focus on planning for horse safety
during natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes and fires.
Dr. Venae Reece is coordinating the development of a statewide
plan on dealing with this issue and will share her expertise.
     The Nov. 17 session will feature Dr. Susan White of the
University of Georgia Veterinary School discussing the prevention
of colic. White is known throughout the country for her
understanding of the factors that influence the development of
colic in horses. Following her talk, Joy Sherman of the State
Department of Health and Environmental Control will talk about
new animal waste regulations that are now in place.
     "These seminars are an excellent opportunity to gain new
perspectives in the management of our horses," said Larry Hudson,
equine specialist with the Clemson University Cooperative
Extension Service.  
     A small fee will be charged to defray expenses. For more    
information, contact your county's Clemson Extension office.
