Back from a great day speaking at the British Horse Foundation (BHF) Better Beginnings No3 Conference. Brilliant to listen to all of the sessions related to the development of the foals. From my side it was great to discuss aysmmetry and the need for early monitoring and working as a team to support foal development. Massive thank you to BHF for the invitation.
