Mosquitos are more than just annoying, blood-sucking pests—they also carry infectious diseases that can incapacitate or kill your horses.

Join TheHorse.com on Thursday, Aug. 30, at 8 p.m. EDT (5 p.m. EDT) for a FREE Ask the Vet Live audio and chat event, "Mosquito-Borne Disease and Your Horse," presented by Merck Animal Health. Our veterinary experts will answer your questions about vector-borne disease (including West Nile virus and Eastern and Western equine encephalitis) prevention, treatment, and much more.
