Equine practitioners are regularly exposed to various and sometimes contradicting opinions on farriery and especially on therapeutic shoeing. The fact that new graduates go into practice with minimal training in farriery and shoeing only exacerbates the problem and leaves practitioners grappling with this contentious subject. This practical course approaches the subject in a scientific and as objective way as possible by reporting established and recent, cutting-edge facts from scientifically sound clinical studies and aims to equip equine practitioners to have meaningful and informed discussions with their farriers. To participate in the On-Location Portion, attendees are required to have first worked through the corresponding online Lecture Series Foot Lameness & Farriery':If you have already purchased the Lecture Series independently of the On-Location Portion, please contact the office on [email protected] for a voucher code to reduce the price accordingly.As part of the online Lecture Series the following topics will be covered in highly illustrated lectures and case presentations: On-demandFunctional Anatomy & Physiology of the FootBiomechanics of the Equine Foot How it is altered by trimming & wearAnatomy & Physiology of a Horse ShoeEffect of Shoes on normal Foot FunctionFoot Wounds: Characteristics, healing and treatmentRadiography & Radiology of the Foot & PasternFarriery for the Hind FootExamination of the Equine Foot A Reflection of Changes in Form & FunctionUltrasound of the Foot & PasternTackling specific problems:Distortions of the Hoof Capsule - Underrun Heels Club Feet Sheared HeelsHoof Problems in Foals: Corrective Shoeing for Angular & Flexural Limb DeformitiesMiscellaneous Conditions of the Foot: White Line Disease, Canker etcFoot Care for Horses with Chronic Laminitis: Theory & CasesLive-StreamedStart Time: 6PM UK / 19:00h Paris / 20:00h Helsinki DateTime (CET)SpeakerTitleDuration27th Sept19:00 19:45Steve O'GradyDoes the Normal Foot Exist?
