A big thank you to all that came to our 2024 Client Seminar on January 24th!

HUGE thank you to Boehringer Ingelheim who sponsored the event. Their representative, Dustin Stapleton, went above and beyond to make the event a success. He arranged catering through Broken Bones BBQ, got personalized cookies made up, provided the Yeti door prize, and covered the venue charge along with helping with the set up and break down.

Drs. Andersen and Gieche presented on up to date and relevant information for horse owners.

We look forward to hosting our next event.
