Foraging Matters: Key Insights with Carol Shwetz DVM

Explore the critical role of forage in supporting your horse’s digestive, metabolic, and overall health, with a special focus on the vulnerable young horse. Learn how to address common concerns about forage, including why it can sometimes lead to health issues, and how to adjust foraging practices to optimize well-being.

In case you missed “Forage is the Foundation of Health for the Horse” with Carol Shwetz, Watch it here to refresh for May 20th!

Carol graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine with a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1986. After graduation, she practiced for 10 years in mixed animal practice, first in Strathmore then in Westlock. A strong interest in and focus on horses led her to establish an equine practice first in the Westlock area, then in the countryside of Millarville, just south of Calgary, followed by Smithers, BC, and most recently in back in Westlock, AB.
