Farrier Clinic
with Brad Dirickson & Isaac Kerr
Hosted by Meddleton Equine
Saturday, January 28, 2012 8:00 AM

Navicular Session 2

We are inviting Farriers, Horseshoers, Blacksmiths, and Veterinarians to join us on Saturday, January 28, 2012 starting at 8:00 AM and ending early afternoon for a Farrier Clinic with Brad Dirickson and Isaac Kerr. A PowerPoint presentation will be given over lunch discussing Hoof Distortion.

This month's Farrier Clinic will be the second session with our Navicular horse that we first saw in December. He is reported to be moving better but still not sound. We saw such a remarkable change in the way this horse moved after working on his rear feet that we plan to start with his rear feet this time.

We will be addressing lameness in a horse using the principles of the Equine Lameness Prevention Organization (E.L.P.O.). We will be evaluating conformation, hoof balance, hoof distortion, then mapping out the foot using E.L.P.O. guidelines and Leverage Testing using the Cross-Check System to determine shoeing protocol.

Radiographs will be taken before, possibly during, and after trimming and shoeing to evaluate bone alignment, hoof-pastern axis, and hopefully show that we have accomplished what we set out to accomplish.

We plan to do this regularly and primarily with horses with lameness, significant hoof imbalance or distortions.

We are asking the horse owner to commit to 3 sessions 8 weeks apart. We plan to do this regularly and primarily with horses with lameness, significant hoof imbalance or distortions. The horse owner will provide lunch for all.

All farriers and Veterinarians are welcome
