This clinic is intended to educate and familiarize the attendee with how to gain all the benefits of a barefoot hoof while still achieving the protection, installation ease, and low cost of traditional nail-on steel horseshoes. The importance of providing the horse with as much natural hoof mechanism flexibility as possible will be accomplished through highlighting five critical factors driving healthy hooves (Hoof Mechanism, Blood Circulation, Hoof Growth/Quality/Shape, Shock Absorption, and Biomechanics). The unfavorable impacts on hoof and horse soundness that is caused by one-piece shoes and their constraining effect on hoof flexibility will be compared against the favorable developments occurring from un-constraining the hoof using a split-shoe approach to hoof care. Extensive academic and long-term field trial data will be referenced. A case study involving “Chewy”, an 11-year-old Appendix gelding, experiencing long term, chronic lameness with recurring quarter cracks, thin soles, contracted heels, overall discomfort, and poor strides will be reviewed. Twin Shoe usage outcomes will demonstrate that horses being unresponsive to a variety of traditional treatment programs and packages can quickly return to full work and begin to have more fun with their owners. Proper application of Twin Shoes will be reviewed with a focus on the recommended trimming, fitting, and nailing approaches when using split shoes. Points of commonality with traditional one-piece shoe installation technique and use of tools will be reviewed. At the same time, important differences in how to think about hoof growth and movement when using split shoes (compared to one-piece shoes) will be highlighted. The clinic will conclude with an open discussion about specific therapeutic situations where the split-shoe approach can be successfully used (hoof capsule distortions, ligament and tendon damage, joint osteoarthritis, and mutli-structural discomfort). Use of split-shoes in transitioning to/from barefoot as well as during lay-up/rehab time periods will also be covered.

Extensive academic and long-term field trial data will be referenced. Points of commonality with traditional one-piece shoe installation technique and use of common tools will be reviewed. At the same time, important differences in how to think about hoof growth and movement when using split shoes (compared to one-piece shoes) will be highlighted. A Twin Shoes case study involving a typical horse with existing soreness, lameness, or hoof capsule distortion issues will be reviewed. The horse’s pathology history, past treatment programs, split-shoe usage starting point, improvement timeline, and current status will be covered. It will be demonstrated that split-shoe usage on horses with long-term, chronic pathologies that are unresponsive to a variety of traditional treatment programs/packages can return to full work, often within a short period time. It will be shown that the noticeable and sustainable improvements in underlying conditions can happen as soon as Day 1 (foot tenderness) or over the course of the first one to three shoeing cycles (other hoof capsule distortions or lameness issues). The clinic will cover common pathologies and specific therapeutic situations where the splitshoe approach can be successfully used (hoof capsule distortions, ligament and tendon damage, joint osteoarthritis, and mutli-structural discomfort). The use of split-shoes in transitioning to/from barefoot as well as during lay-up/rehab time periods will also be covered. The clinic will conclude with a live horse demonstration of the proper application of Twin Shoes with a focus on the recommended trimming, fitting, and nailing approaches when using split shoes. There will be additional Q&A time after demonstration.

Clinicians: Drs. Dick Mansmann & Megan Radkin

APPROVED FOR 3 IAPF CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS.

Sponsor: Foxglove Farm

Flyer Details: 
A DVM/Farrier/Owner Team provids 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 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.
