Description
Equine Immune System
The equine immune system is a horse’s first line of defence against infection, inflammation, and disease. Yet many owners and professionals lack a clear understanding of how it works, what can go wrong, and how best to support it.
This comprehensive online course explores the anatomy and physiology of equine immunity, covering everything from physical barriers and immune cells to hypersensitivity reactions, immunodeficiency, and vaccination strategies. You’ll learn to identify signs of immune compromise, interpret diagnostic indicators, and implement effective management, nutritional, and environmental support plans.
Designed for advanced students, bodyworkers, trainers, and equine professionals, this course bridges scientific theory with practical equine care. Step-by-step modules, case-based learning, and emerging research insights will deepen your understanding of how immune health drives overall wellbeing and athletic resilience.
Whether you’re involved in rehab, racing, performance management, or veterinary support, this course equips you with the tools to promote stronger immune function and more informed care.
