New attraction to celebrate working horses
Feature at East of England Show

A new attraction celebrating the contributions of working horses to agriculture, farming and forestry will be open to the public at this year's East of England Show. The British Festival of the Working Horse, which enjoys the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales, can be found at the Peterborough Arena over July 6th, 7th and 8th 2012.

The Festival, which is organised by British Horse Loggers, will have a dedicated 'village' in the Arena in which members of the public can learn more about harness and saddle making, rural crafts and the role stilled played by working horses today. Workshops and seminars will also be available.

"This is going to be a real treat for visitors to the show, who will have never seen anything like this before. 
It is a brand new attraction, not only for Peterborough and the region, but for the UK. We will have workshops, crafts and demonstrations of just what fantastic work these wonderful horses do in a host of industries – from horticulture and forestry, but also tourism and leisure.
 We really want the festival to champion horse logging as viable, vibrant and credible." said Festival organiser Doug Joiner.

More information can be found at the East of England Show's website.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
