Additional Event Information
Come and join BHS Devon for an evening of expert insight, practical advice, and honest conversation.
Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) is no longer just a concern for native ponies. It is increasingly being seen in sports horses, leisure horses, and competition horses - often going unnoticed until it becomes a serious issue.
Join independent equine nutritionist Nicki Castle alongside a dietary specialist from Western Counties Equine Hospital for an informative and eye-opening evening designed to help you better understand, recognise and manage this growing condition.
What we�ll cover:
What Equine Metabolic Syndrome really is - and why it�s on the rise
Why EMS is no longer limited to native breeds
The hidden risks in modern feeding, grazing, and management
How EMS impacts performance, recovery, and long-term soundness
Early warning signs every owner should recognise
The link between EMS and laminitis
Practical, realistic strategies for prevention and management
Why attend?
