Course Description
This course combines in-person lectures, a hands-on podiatry lab (at Reedy Creek Facility), and small group presentations by students to provide equine-interested third year students with highly relevant information in the area of surgery, lameness and podiatry. The lectures cover selected podiatry, surgery and orthopedic/lameness topics while the out-of-classroom experience will focus on podiatry. During this lab, students will perform podiatry examinations in small groups on horses at the Reedy Creek Equine Farm. A few weeks later, the same groups will present their exam findings, together with future trimming/shoeing recommendations, in short powerpoint presentations to the class. Instructors in this course include specialists in the area of podiatry, imaging, sports medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedic and soft tissue surgery and an experienced farrier, who will participate in the lab, lectures and provide feedback in the student presentations.
