The Sixth Tex Cauthen Farrier / Veterinarian / Researcher Seminar: PROTECTING THE HORSE, THE HOOF, AND THE BIOMECHANICS OF THE HIND LIMB
This year’s symposium was held on Jan. 23, 2022, via zoom and in person from the Gluck Equine Research Center. The focus of this year’s seminar was the Horse, the Hoof and the biomechanics of the hind limb. There were over 150 veterinarians, farriers, researchers, and horse owners from all over the world. The presentations included an overview of safety measurements, lameness locator, corrective shoeing, on-horse sensors, racetrack data presentation, anatomical structure of the hind leg, biomechanical function of the hind leg, hind limb lameness, shoeing strategies, pathologies of the hind foot, and hind limb lameness, and round table discussions.
I have been part of the organizing committee for this seminar for 6 years.
