This 4-day course is ideal for the horse owner or professional who wants to understand EXACTLY what their veterinarian looks for during an examination.
On the last day of class, put yourself in your veterinarian’s boots and perform a lameness exam with the guidance of our attending veterinarians – you can even request blocks and other imaging for immediate feedback!
