Lameness and Performance
We are inviting farriers, horseshoers, and blacksmiths to join us on Saturday, December 3, 2011 starting at 8:00 AM and ending early afternoon for a Farrier Clinic with Brad Dirickson and Isaac Kerr.
Image by Trish Steel, via Wikimedia CommonsWe 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 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
