Over the years, these symposia have provided a wealth of information on many different aspects of horse husbandry and equine medicine. The Department of Animal Science Horse Barn and the School of Veterinary Medicine California Center for Equine Health and Performance are involved in a great many areas of teaching, breeding and research on this campus. It is through the committed endeavors of those who work at these facilities that the quality of life of our horses continues to improve. We depend on your interest and support.
