Equine respiratory disease, care of sport horses, and training in dentistry and stallion reproduction are the subjects of the American Association of Equine Practitioners' expanded 2010 series of summer continuing education meetings. The seminars will give equine veterinarians more opportunities to refresh skills and undertake new endeavors.

The program will include exploration of airway obstructions, strangles, pneumonia, heaves, and other related diseases, as well as the anatomy and function of the lower and upper airways.
