LAMINITIS can cause great difficulties for horse owners, especially during the summer months, and it can be very challenging to manage.

CAFRE is hosting a seminar on June 14th on all things laminitis-related. A number of industry professionals will review current laminitis theory and research. They will also demonstrate the changes that occur within the hoof with the aid of x-rays and venograms.

Treatment and management options will also be discussed at the seminar and practical information will be provided regarding how to manage horses suffering from laminitis.

The day is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about laminitis or how best to treat it.

The content and discussions will generally be aimed towards owners, farriers, veterinary surgeons, coaches, riders and nutritionists.

A number of industry experts will deliver talks over the course of the seminar, including equine veterinarians Sean Rooney and Quirine Tettelaar, and Martin Payne AWCF & Paul Duddy AWCF (Associateship of the Worshipful Company of Farriers which focuses on corrective farriery).

The seminar is a CPD event for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses registered with the Veterinary Council of Ireland.

The seminar will begin at 10am and conclude at 5:30pm. If you are interest in attending the seminar online registration is required and must be completed before Monday June 10th.
