Central NC clinic location rotates monthly, including Chapel Hill, New Hill, Southern Pines, Wake Forest. See monthly announcement in https://www.facebook.com/groups/978968283546217

A DVM/Farrier/Owner Team provides an equine case in need of podiatry-related ideas. The examinations, radiography and dinner are gratis; the owner makes their own financial arrangement with their farrier. The meeting is from 6 PM to 9PM. While everyone is settling in & getting some food and drink there is a general topic of discussion for farriers and veterinarians’ joint interest. For example, on 10/19/2023 the presentation and discussion was on considerations for shoeing for landing versus loading.,

Then, the horse’s owner, veterinarian and farrier provide a medical history. The group will observe the horse in motion in the aisle, arena and/or driveway. Next the group does a podiatry examination followed by Dr. Radkin doing podiatry radiographs for the group to discuss. Then a trimming and possible shoeing plan is discussed. The consensus plan approved by the owner and the owner’s farrier is then accomplished by the owner’s farrier. Follow-up radiographs will be discussed. There will be one case each evening. The end time is no later than 9PM.

The goal is to see how farriers and equine practitioners work together on a particular case that can then translate to other cases.

Effective July 1, 2026, the Advanced Anatomy and Radiographs Clinic will be a required class for PHCP certification. It must be completed prior to submitting the Final Media Presentation.

Day 1  – Advanced Anatomy and Morphology

-Dissection and exploration of the internal and external structures of the foot.
-We will start with a short review of anatomy; however, participants will benefit greatly from having a basic understanding of the internal and external structures of the foot prior to attending.
-The dissection will be led by the instructor but students will be hands on in helping with the the different stages of the dissection. We will pick two to four hooves that have different morphologies. The number of hooves we dissect may vary depending on what we find and how long we spend with each one. We will compare the differences between healthy and unhealthy structures in each foot. We will learn how to visualize where our internal structures are positioned by reading external landmarks.
-Examples of common pathologies we will see may include deep sulcus thrush affecting the frog corium, stretched weak lamina, white line infection, wall cracks, P3 remodeling that is visible externally, wall delamination, abscesses, and thin soles.

Participants will go home with the following abilities to:
-Assess the health of the soft tissue structures in the back of the foot (digital cushion, lateral  cartilages, frog corium).
-Assess and accurately estimate sole depth and medio-lateral balance.
-Assess palmar/plantar angles.
-Pinpoint the center of rotation of the coffin joint.
-Assess P3 position in relation to toe length.
-Read wear and loading patterns in untrimmed feet. We will speculate on whether the wear we see is static (postural) vs dynamic (created during movement).

Day 2 – Radiograph Guided Trimming and Dissection
To participate in Day 2 you must have attended Day 1 of this clinic.

-We will use the assessment techniques learned in Day 1 – Advanced Anatomy to make trimming decisions.
-We will do a basic intro to reading radiographs before we begin the exercise. Feet will be radiographed prior to trimming.
-We will be able to critically assess how our trim impacts the position of the hoof capsule in relation to the bony column.  
-Each participant will then complete a self guided dissection/exploration of their foot.

Prerequisites:
-The PHCP Anatomy, Trimming, and Hoof Protection Clinic (or approved substitute outside coursework).
-A PHCP approved Radiographs class:  PHCP’s Reading Radiographs for the Hoof Care Practitioner clinic, a PHCP Reading Radiographs webinar, or Dr. Kellon’s Basics of Radiographs online course.
-It is also highly recommended that Paige Poss and Jenny Edwards Anatomy of the Equine online class be completed before the clinic.

What to bring:
If possible, students should bring their own tools (gloves, apron, nippers, rasp, knife, hoof pick, and stand) but we will have some to share.

If you have a cadaver leg of your own you would like to dissect with us please let us know and bring it along.

Please bring your own lunch to eat on location. There are plenty of places to pick up prepared food in the area ahead of time. We will take an hour lunch break from 12:00 to 1:00.

Accommodations:
Erie is a cute little town and the clinic is located north. Near by hotels (Longmont, Lafayette, Boulder), grocery shopping, and restaurants. Depending on your preferences and budget. Some students have found really sweet places to stay on Airbnb.

What to bring:
Most of this clinic will take place in a heated shop. A small portion of the time will be in the barn working with live horses, so please dress appropriately. Bring a chair or let me know if you need one. Bring your trimming tools if you are able, an apron or towel for your lap, gloves and safety glasses.

There will be a one hour lunch break. You may bring your own lunch to eat on location or there is a diner 3 miles down the road.

Accommodations:
I highly recommend staying in downtown Bristol for the best food and entertainment options. However, there is a B&B large enough for people to share across the fence from my farm (walking distance to my shop). There are also cheaper hotel options 20 minutes away with food close by. Three options on West State Street, Bristol, TN and two options on Linden Drive, Bristol, VA.

Travel:
People should consider flying into TRI airport and be prepared to rent a car. We are in the country so Uber will be expensive or unrealistic.

*Start time is 9:00 am each day and we’ll finish up between 4:00 and 5:00 pm.

Lorie Fleenor, PHCP practitioner, mentor and clinician, is an 8th generation farmer in Bristol, TN. Knowledge of animal welfare has always been a priority for Lorie, and whole horse hoof care has been her passion since she first learned to trim in 2007. She continues her education so that she can better help people and horses find a pathway to health and happy trails. Each year, Lorie hosts multiple clinics at her ranch for riding and hoof care, and is very active in her local horse community. Her husband and two children help her on the farm where they run a 265 head cattle operation, board and care for 75 horses, teach riding, and offer training services. She serves clients in Southwest VA and Northeast TN. She has a huge variety of horses, hooves, and pathologies on her farm. The horses live out 24/7 in herds on hilly pastures, so it’s fun to watch rehab and healthy hooves happen as new horses come in! As we all know, diet, exercise and the trim go hand in hand!

Lorie can be contacted at Magna Vista Farm in Bristol, TN.
