Classes start at 10am and end around 5pm.
We will start with lecture on how to address common things found in foals.
Instructor starts with a complete discussion of all the parts of the foal hoof and their function. What about growth plates?
Each participating student will have a foal cadaver leg, which they will assess and map before trimming.
The trimming will begin step by step applying the correct trim to the individual hoof, with focus on proper tool handling and techniques used in the field. Also ideas to keep you and your foal safe.
After the students have finished their trim, they will be given the opportunity to explore their hoof, to identify vital structures and the perimeters of which one must stay within to achieve optimal soundness.
We will finish with a dissection to further explore the anatomy of the distal limb.
Students are encouraged to read Pete Rameys articles on www.hoofrehab.com and or purchase his DVD's
Under the Horse.
