Spotlight: Equine Vet Practice in Canada

01/14/2025

We had a wonderful weekend at the second annual Spotlight: Equine Vet Practice in Canada event. There were 38 veterinary practices and 19 industry sponsors involved in making this event happen for 60 vet students and vet tech students from across the country. Thank you for your support, and we are looking forward to next year!

We had an awesome first day at this year's Spotlight, with over thirty horses floated by the vet students, tech students rotating through anesthesia, respiratory, IV catheter, and radiography labs, and some great lectures. A taco bar finished off the night with some intense trivia, and we're looking forward to another full day tomorrow!
