Deep Digital Flexor Tendonopathy
In this presentation I will present a case that was diagnosed by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with deep digital flexor tendonopathy. I will include the history, diagnostics and treatment/rehabilitation for the case.
Dr. Brian Beasley
Straight Sesamoidean Ligament Rupture and Mechanical Effects on the Straight Sesamoidean Ligament
Although we will be reviewing a catastrophic rupture of the superficial sesamoidean ligament, there was a possibility that this rupture 2021 NAEP CONFERENCE REGISTRATION KIT TOGETHER FOR THE HORSE 27 could have been avoided had there been a proactive shoeing protocol implemented sooner. MRI has indicated that SSL injury is more common than previously understood, we will discuss shoeing possibilities to unload the SSL to aid in healing.
Mr. Doug Russo
The Diagnosis, Treatment & Farriery of a Fracture of the Distal Phalanx
This presentation will cover the farrier’s perspective of the joint efforts of a Veterinarian & Farrier as they address a lameness case of the hind limb of a young horse. It will share documentation of the two professions working together as the lameness is diagnosed as a fracture to the distal phalanx, the surgical treatments performed, and the farriery to support and protect the hoof capsule during the recovery stages. Along with numerous images of the progress of this case, we will also share set backs encountered along the way to the final outcome of a sound horse. We will include video of the horse in motion, while the horse is lame from the injury, the lameness encountered during set backs with treatment, and its soundness once healed. We will provide video documentation of the shoe used to protect the foot, why this type of farriery was selected and how the shoe was built.
Mr. Jeff Ridley
Shoeing Prescriptions Based Off Radiographs
In this lecture I will discuss and illustrate common movement, repositioning and questionable interpretation of bones and joints associated with typical “Farrier Radiographs”, specifically the lateral and D/P views. This lecture will focus on illustrating the risk and challenges often found when providing or using shoeing prescriptions solely based off radiographs. The presentation will include a series of images and radiographs using the same horse illustrating several reasonable changes in limb position and/or the generator as well as horses due for trimming and some sample shoeing changes.

Hospital Plate Shoes: Their Fabrication and Uses
Hospital plate or treatment plate horseshoes are used for many types of hoof injuries, surgeries, and other conditions. Any injury or surgery to the horse’s sole or frog needs protection and a convenient method of medicating, protecting, and inspecting the wound. Using a hospital plate shoe also saves money on expensive bandaging and time to wrap a foot up regularly. This discussion will show the various designs of hospital plate shoes and how they are fabricated. Examples of some of the manufactured pads that have similar use is included as well as some historical hospital plate shoes from the Henry Asmus collection at Cornell University. Step-by-step, methods will be shown on how to fabricate these shoes and the materials used. Actual cases of hospital plate shoes for surgical cases and injuries will be reviewed.
Mr. Steve Kraus
Shoeing for Soft Tissue Injuries
In this lecture, I will discuss when it is effective and when it is time to transition back to a “normal” shoe.
Mr. Steve Semersheim
Laminitis: Onset, and Management Back to Performance
This Lecture will delve into the mechanical principles that help guide Farriers and Veterinarians through the initial onset and rehabilitation of the laminitic equine foot.
Mr. Stuart Muir
“Yoshi” – Acute Laminitis Case Treated with DDFT Tenotomies and Derotational Shoeing.”
“Yoshi” is a 16 yo QH gelding suffering from acute onset of pasture associated laminitis. This case will be presented/discussed to highlight the cooperation and team work required by veterinarians, staff, farriers, and horse owner to treat/manage laminitis. Specific hoof trimming and the steps needed to apply glue on shoes to “derotate”/ realign the distal phalanx post deep digital flexor tendon tenotomies will be included.
