This webinar will look in depth at the distal phalanx. It is the bone where more can go wrong than the rest of the horse's bones in the limb combined. 

Simon will merge his knowledge with Mike Savoldi, to cover the development of this unusual bone and its influence upon hoof shape and soundness. 

They will also look at pathology such as pedalosteitis and fractures. The webinar will use pictures, video, radiography and scintigraphy to explore the distal phalanx.

Clinician:
  • Simon Curtis PhD FWCF APF
A day of lectures by Simon Curtis will cover his recent findings on the equine hoof capsule. Most of the new knowledge comes from his PhD and is supplemented by other research and studies. The day will take you on a journey of learning. A deeper understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and development of the hoof will lead to better practical outcomes in the hoof-care, farriery and veterinary professions. This is not just a day of knowledge; it is a day to improve hoof-care.
The day is divided into four parts:
1. The Anatomy and Physiology of the Hoof
2. Hoof Development from Fetus to Maturity
3. How Weight-Bearing and Loading Affects Hoof Wall Growth
4. The Implications for Trimming and Shoeing from this New Knowledge

Davie County Large Animal Hospital hosts a farrier meeting on the second Tuesday of every month at their clinic for farriers, veterinarians, and horse owners. We bring in a case study horse experiencing a lameness issue to evaluate and discuss the best approach to diagnose, treat and maintain it. The veterinarian completes a full lameness exam on the horse and utilizes appropriate diagnostics such as radiographs, nerve blocks, and flexions. Upon lameness diagnosis, all farriers and veterinarians in attendance collaborate in a round table discussion about the best method to shoe the horse. The existing farrier on the case is heavily encouraged to attend and shoe the horse with inputs from other farriers present at the meeting.

Our goal is to collaborate with the veterinarians and educate all in attendance. We want to ensure that the process we execute at our meetings is repeatable by the farrier at the farm going forward.
