My Equine Behavior
Bucket List:
Important Concepts of Horse Behavior with Everyday Relevance to Horse Owners & Veterinarians
Saturday, January 24 | 6:55 p.m. - 8:35 p.m. Sue McDonnell, MS, PhD, CAAB
After 35 years of focus on horse behavior research, teaching, and clinical work alongside equine veterinarians in an educational setting, I have accumulated a list of equine behavior concepts for helping horse owners and veterinarians better understand horse behavior for more efficient, safe, and humane care of horses. This after-dinner talk will focus on the top few items on my horse behavior education “bucket list” with particular relevance to equine practice. We will discuss general concepts along with practical tips concerning 1) how we evaluate whether a behavior change is physical or behavioral, 2) how to better recognize pain in horses, 3) how to behave so your patients will behave even for mildly aversive procedures, along with 4) several cool concepts about natural horse behavior that likely explain why horses living under natural social and environmental conditions are so conspicuously free of so many of the classic injuries and illnesses of domestic horses.

Letter from the President Dear Colleagues, It gives me great pleasure to personally invite you to attend the FAEP’s 52nd Annual Ocala Equine conference. “For Practitioners by Practitioners,” the conference offers outstanding equine-exclusive CE on January 23-25, 2015, in Ocala, Florida. It offers 19 hours of stimulating, world-class continuing education for equine practitioners to be presented by nine distinguished speakers. Dr. Sue McDonnell, noted equine behaviorist, is the scheduled keynote speaker. She will be making a presentation on the topic “My Equine Behavior Bucket List: Important Concepts of Horse Behavior with Everyday Relevance to Horse Owners and Veterinarians.” Our keynote is the highlight of an engaging and advanced continuing education program that will feature topics such as GI Exam/Colic, Foal Respiratory Disease, Lameness/Imaging, Reproduction, and Wound Management. The Comprehensive Imaging Wet Lab will be held at the Peterson & Smith Equine Hospital, in Ocala, Marion County, Florida, "the horse capital of the world.” The conference host hotel is the Hilton Ocala where CE sessions will be held, along with the exhibitors’ exhibit hall, where over 45 industry partners will showcase the latest products and services available to equine veterinary medicine. As the FAEP works to support the professional development of its members and to improve the welfare of horses and their owners in the state of Florida, it is our honor to strive to provide the world-class continuing educational opportunities expected of us. We hope you will join us for the exceptional conference we have planned. I look forward to welcoming you in Ocala!
