We would like to extend a big thank you to Sam Cecil, an H-A rated member of St. Margaret's Pony Club, for leading our learning series, Veterinary Night, in collaboration with the SMPC and APC. Sam provided engaging hands-on props that helped our pony club members visualize and understand the functions of bones, tendons, ligaments, and fascia in our equine partners.
During the session, Sam covered a range of topics, from dental and eye issues to the connection of small vertebrae in the dock. We examined arthritic and fused joints and discussed the fusion process in detail. Sam also explained the intricate structure of the hoof bone and how conformation issues can impact the legs and hooves.
It was a well-attended and educational evening for our pony club members, and we look forward to having Sam back to teach us more!
We would also like to express our gratitude to Janice Binkley at Dovecote Equestrian, an A-rated alum of the Annapolis Pony Club, for graciously organizing, and hosting our 2025 Summer Learning Series.
