Event Description
Part 1: Anatomy-led Exploration
Rather than approaching the foot from a theoretical or slide-based perspective, this will be a specimen-led session. Using real feet, dissections, and anatomical models, we will work progressively from the external hoof capsule inward in examining each structure in situ before revealing the layers beneath.
We will begin with the outer hoof capsule, discussing its composition, growth, and visible features, before moving into the internal architecture of the foot.
Through a series of dissections—including sagittal, transverse, and isolated structural views—we will identify and examine:
The hoof capsule, including wall, bars, white line and frog
The lamellar interface and its attachment to the distal phalanx and inner hoof wall
The bony column
Ligaments stabilizing the bony column
Tendons influencing distal limb movement
The caudal foot: digital cushion and ungual cartilages
The blood circulation including the coriums
Throughout the session, emphasis will be placed on how each structure is formed, its composition and its anatomical role within the foot.
This is an anatomy-led exploration. While pathological conditions may be referenced briefly for context, the primary focus is on building a clear, three-dimensional understanding of normal structure through direct visualisation.
Presenter:
Lindsey Field is an equine hoof anatomist, educator, and clinical research professional with over 45 years’ experience in scientific investigation. She holds an M.Sc. in Chemical Analysis and an Equine Science degree (Equine Science Academy, 2022), and has undertaken advanced podiatry training with EPC Solutions (Distinction, 2023) and Dr Ric Redden (2025).
Driven by a deeply analytical mindset, Lindsey is known for asking fundamental “why” questions and rigorously testing assumptions. Her work is grounded in independence—she does not subscribe to any single trimming method or ideology, instead relying on evidence, observation, and anatomical truth. She is equally committed to intellectual honesty, openly revising her views as new evidence emerges.
Her journey into hoof anatomy began out of necessity, when persistent lameness in her own horse led her to question conventional explanations. This prompted an intensive exploration of the internal structures of the equine foot through dissection.
Since 2017, Lindsey has dissected and documented over 1,000 equine feet, developing a detailed, practical understanding of hoof anatomy and function. In 2020, she began collaborating with Professor Chris Pollitt, producing educational dissection content and teaching his work
Lindsey is widely recognised for her ability to translate complex anatomical and pathology concepts into clear, accessible learning. Through carefully structured visuals, dissections, and memorable analogies, she supports both horse owners and professionals in developing a deeper, more accurate understanding of the equine foot.
Both Parts 1 and 2 are included with your single purchase. A recording of the live event will be available for viewing as many times as you would like for two years.
