We were delighted to take part in the recent BHS Ireland Horse Health Days over the weekend.
Our CAFRE Enniskillen team enjoyed supporting horse owners through equine faecal egg count testing and sharing advice on parasite management.
It was fantastic to work alongside such knowledgeable professionals and engage with so many dedicated horse owners across the three venues.
A very worthwhile and informative few days for all involved!
