Join University of Maryland Extension for an evening of learning with Dr. Chris Smith and his veterinary associates at Foxhall Equine in Fallston, MD. This lecture is the first seminar of a 3-part lecture series.

In 2020, Dr. Chris Smith opened the state-of-the-art equine center where your horse can receive veterinary care, treatments for sports injuries, rehabilitation, and performance conditioning. During this lecture you will receive a full tour of the facility, see several of the therapies in action, and talk about case studies they have seen.

The meeting will be held on January 25, 2024 at the Hereford Fire Hall- Summit Manor at 510 Monkton Rd., Monkton, MD 21111. Numerous commercial displays and representatives will be there to discuss new products and plans for the upcoming year.

This meeting serves as Recertification for Maryland private pesticide applicators and offers recertification credits for Pennsylvania recertification. Also, producers can attend specific presentations to renew their Maryland nutrient applicator’s voucher.

The doors will open at 7:30 a.m. to visit commercial exhibits and refreshments. The presentations begin at 8:15 am and will end by 12:30pm. Lunch will be served following the presentations.
