This two-day practical course has been developed for equine veterinarians and mixed animal practitioners who already have experience with lameness investigations and provides a critical review of the current thinking on foot conformation, trimming and shoeing options, combined with updates on foot and pastern conditions, diagnostic anaesthesia strategies and how to interpret distal limb nerve and joint block results. This course was designed to maximise the learning experience for all attendees with 7 hours of practical sessions which will give attendees plenty of opportunity to put theory into practice on live horses and limb specimens in small groups (2 – 4 vets per ultrasound machine) and to discuss all aspects of foot lameness, trimming and farriery with the specialists. Each attendee will be rotating through the following practical stations: Foot Assessment & Trimming on live horses and specimens; Local Anaesthetic Techniques of the Distal Limb; Advanced Imaging PowerPoint Case Discussions; Foot & Pastern Ultrasonography on live horses; Review of Shoeing Options on horses and specimens; Foot Lameness PowerPoint Case Discussions.
