Our Honorary Speaker: Dr. Zachary Franklin DVM
For those of you who are not familiar with the good Doc, let me fill you in on a little info about him. He graduated from Ohio State University with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1984. He began his work as a Vet Tech at the University of Florida Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in Gainesville, FL. He then went on to become an Associate Vet in Ohio for a year and then came to the Miami area in 1985 to become an Associate Vet here for the next couple of years. Other than a short stint in Orange Lake, FL Dr. Franklin has been a Vet here in the Miami area since 1993. South Florida Horse Connection is proud to have him as our guest speaker on Equine Emergency First Aid on Friday, December 6th, 2013 from 7-9 PM. The Equine Symposium will be held at the Little Yellow Barn located at 22200 SW 152 Ave in the Redlands. Registration information for this event will be posted tomorrow.

Forage ideas for the winter months ahead...
Here in S FL, we are soon going to see our green pastures turn to brown. Not that we have the best grasses to begin with, but when winter comes, it really creates a forage problem. Wanting to supply something other than a hay bale that mostly gets wasted, I looked into alternatives. What I found is so exciting! There is a product out there called the Hay Pillow. It is specifically for slow feeding horses. We only have two horses in our pasture, but one of them is food dominate. We ordered two Hay Pillows and not only does it supply them with the ability to munch on hay all day long, but it provided entertainment as well! I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a cost effective and non wasteful way to give your horse(s) hay that aides their digestive system as well. The company was founded by Monique Warren and you can find out more about all the Hay Pillow products at the website: thehaypillow.com. She is super helpful when deciding what pillow to buy, so please don't hesitate to give her a call. If you happen to order, tell her that you heard of her company from Tyra in Miami!

Miami barn fire finds 3 horses dead and 1 person...
1 person, 3 horses die in Miami barn fire | Roonte!
We rarely hear of barn fires here in Miami. This one that occurred on Sunday had a tragic ending for both the 3 horses that were trapped inside, but also a man that was living on the premises.
