Horses and Humans Research Foundation (HHRF) is excited to announce Zoetis Inc. (Zoetis) as a continued sponsor. The partnership includes support for HHRF’s 2022 Conference About Research: Connect, Learn & Inspire, which will be held at Fieldstone Farm in Chagrin Falls, OH, Aug. 13–14, 2022.
“Our organizations share a common dedication to equine health—and through Zoetis’ support of our annual conference—we can advance horse care to support healthier, more fulfilling lives for both species,” said Molly Sweeney, HHRF Founder and Equine Welfare Committee Chair. “Zoetis’ support makes it possible to expand our research and global knowledge of horse-human interactions to benefit horses and their owners worldwide.”
Zoetis is an industry leader committed to providing equine health products and services across the continuum of care and throughout a horse’s life. As an innovator in the animal health field, Zoetis is recognized for offering trusted horse care products like Quest® Gel and Quest Plus Gel dewormers, Dormosedan® Gel (detomidine hydrochloride) oral sedative, Pro-Stride® APS, a regenerative medicine device, and the Core EQ Innovator® vaccine.
The Zoetis sponsorship of HHRF spotlights both organizations’ commitment to advancing horse health and welfare while also valuing the profound and supportive connection that people develop with these animals. Both companies are dedicated to bringing global recognition to the healing benefits of horse-human interactions and what it takes to help horses live healthy lives.
“Horses have proven invaluable in providing physical and emotional support that promotes healing and well-being to the multitudes,” said HHRF board member and Zoetis Senior Veterinarian Dr. Mark Crisman. “We are proud to support purpose-driven organizations like HHRF who are dedicated to supporting research studies that explore the connection between horses and humans.”
