Equine Hospital Tours At 2010 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event

In-keeping with the Rolex tradition of involving fans in every aspect of an event, visitors to the 2010 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event will be able to be part of tours to the Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital. The tours are schedules to be hosted between the 21st and the 23rd of April, 2010. Rood & Riddle Equine hospital is the official equine hospital as well as veterinary partner to the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Rolex not only takes interest in the health of the participants to its events but also pays equal stress on the health of the horses. Since no equestrian event can be won without proper coordination and understanding with the steed, it becomes quintessential to closely monitor the health of the horses that participate in such events.
In case of equestrian events, the universally accepted truth is that the horses play an equal, if not more, important role in winning the event. Though participating in the event with a healthy steed does not ensure a win; however, it does increase the chances. The tours have been arranged in order to give visitors a better insight into the procedures that are carried on behind the scenes at hospitals that cater to these beautiful animals. The tour will take the guests through the state-of-the-art facility. The visitors will be able to see first hand the procedures followed in surgery, the diagnostic imaging systems as well as the podiatry center. They will also get an insight into the advances that have taken place in the field of equine veterinary medicine as well as patient care. The tour will also educate visitors with presentations on the intricacies of MRI and treadmill endoscopic evaluations of the equine upper airway.

The information on MRIs along with its application in the arena of equine veterinary medicine is scheduled to be presented by Travis Tull who is a DVM. MRI has come into extensive use only within the past 5 years, though it has been used in equine clinical cases for about a decade. As MRI is a fast evolving sector of equine medicine, Rood & Riddle is one of the few private equine hospitals in the country to own and use a 1.5 Tesla high-field magnet MRI unit to help make advances in their ability to diagnose. The video presentation in the treadmill room is scheduled to be given by Brett Woodie. Brett Woodie will explain to the visitors how treadmill exams are performed and also demonstrate some common upper airway abnormalities that have been known to affect the equine athlete. Brett Woodie went on to state that he looked forward to making the presentation and have horsemen and women visit the hospital when the 2010 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event is underway. He also stated that it would be a brilliant opportunity to share his knowledge and the hospital’s cutting edge treatment options that exist for the equestrian sport participant. The tours are estimated to last for an approximate of 1 hour and 15 minutes. The timings for the tours have been scheduled as 2 p.m. on April 21, and later at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. on April 22 and 23.
