When you need information
relating to your horse’s health,
you likely turn to the Internet.
Online, you have access to a
whole new world of information
and group support, a handy adjunct
to your other educational
sources. But the Internet also is
chockablock with useless and
dangerously wrong “information,”
often offered in the guise
of friendly, helpful advice. To
help you find reliable sources,
here’s a “starter set” of 10
recommended sites, arranged
alphabetically by host.
The American
1 Association of Equine
Practitioners
Offers: Twice-monthly online
newsletter that includes
horse-health news, views,
research, and happenings,
plus an interactive Q&A
veterinary forum and links

offers a horse-health-related
calendar of events, plus
articles and links to other
quality horse-health sites.
Bonus: This site offers a link
to Get-a-DVM, hosted by
Bayer Animal Health (right),

veterinarians.
