About the course

This course aims to cover the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases of the foot. Concentrating on the diagnosis of key conditions of the equine digit that result in performance limiting lameness. Diagnostic tests, including nerve blocks and diagnostic imaging will be covered. A significant portion will be devoted to the assessment of foot balance and farriery. Other subject areas will include traumatic injuries to the digit and their management, including penetrating injuries and hoof capsule injuries.
