Intercity Insurance, a Canadian equine insurance provider, is joining forces with Equine Guelph to combat colic—a leading killer of horses.

The impact of colic is well understood by Intercity Insurance, Equine Guelph, and the entire equine community. Not many surgeries strike as much fear into the heart of a horse person as a procedure for colic. Not only is colic surgery expensive with a subsequent long layup, but recurrence is a major concern as well.

Fortunately, many colic incidents can be avoided through preventative stable management strategies. Equine Guelph’s colic prevention programs, including the Colic Risk Rater and Colic Prevention eWorkshop, can help horse owners become more savvy about preventing colic in their horses..

The two-week Colic Prevention eWorkshop is designed to help owners reduce the risk of colic in their horses by increasing their knowledge of risk factors and developing sound management plans. The next offering is scheduled for April 13 -26
