Horse Health Day:
This happens 4 times a year at CCEC. See the
bottom of this page for the details on the whole calendar. The goal is to
make it easier and cheaper to help you manage your horses health.
Participation is not manditory, but highly encouraged. Issues that effect
the herd's health and need to be coordinated (like worming) are manditory, but
you are more than welcome to manage this 100% on your own and just work with a
CCEC Staffer to make sure we know you've done your part to guard the overall
herd health.

horse health, especially about taking a horses vitals and meet all the borders
