Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO AN EVENING DEDICATED TO ADVANCING RACING SAFETY AND EDUCATION IN THE MID ATLANTIC REGION.
Developed for equine veterinarians who have experience with lameness investigations, this practical course provides a critical overview of possible causes of hindlimb lameness, diagnostic anesthetic strategies and how to interpret nerve and joint block results, via a regio-anatomic approach. Discussions on the upper hindlimb as a cause of lameness (hip joint, pelvic and sacroiliac problems) and on systemic and intra-articular joint therapies will round the course off. The 7 hours of practical and case-based sessions will give attendees plenty of opportunity to further their practical skills on live horses and limb specimens in small groups (2 – 4 people per ultrasound machine).
