The Evolution In Whole Horse Soundness Conference

Looking for something interesting to do this September 30th - October 2nd?

Come join us at the Delta Hotel in Regina SK for a conference on whole horse soundness!

This past decade in the equine world has seen a boom in technologies which record data, bring new light to old topics, and create materials all in the interest of improving horse soundness. But the plethora of information available can be overwhelming.

To this end, the Canadian Equine Hoof Care Association, started by a dedicated team of hoof care professionals, is excited to bring a cutting-edge team of researchers, vets and farriers to Regina this fall.

A s hoof care providers, we want all of our clients to be sound and happy, and see the undeniable need for networking across modalities in order to achieve our goal. Every part of the horse is connected! Sometimes the way to the hoof is via the rest of the body.

Presenting at the conference will be Caren Dougall RVT, from EquiBow Canada in Ontario. Caren brings the Bowen technique to the equine world, along with experience and intuition from her extensive riding career. The Bowen technique is designed to re-pattern the neuromuscular system into a healthier balance using noninvasive techniques.

Paige M. Poss from the Iron Free Hoof in Arizona, will present her knowledge which comes from her background as a research technician, and two decades spent under the hoof. Other than being an incredible teaching resource for horse owners and professionals alike, she is also dedicated to being at the forefront of the profession.

Coming from Nova Scotia, Julie Ann Lee DCH from Adored Beast Apothecary will also present. She is a veterinary technician who has studied worldwide with renowned homeopaths in order to usher holistic wellness into the veterinary world.

Also from Arizona, Dr. Tomas Teskey DVM is a holistic veterinarian with a keen interest for both horse hooves and teeth, and their curious connection. Since both of those elements thrive when the management program is species appropriate, Dr. Teskey is also passionate about teaching management to horse owners.

Attending from the UK, is Yogi Sharp DipWCF from The Equine Documentalist. Yogi is studying for his PhD in farriery science, which has evolved into a study on the way the hoof interacts with the rest of the body and changed the way he worked with hooves. Besides researching novel topics and providing quality education, he is also the creator of HoofmApp, an app designed to aid hoof care providers in verifying the accuracy of their trim.

All the way from the University of Georgia, Dr. Elizabeth Uhl DVM, PhD, DipACVP is presenting her unique perspective on biomechanics. Dr. Uhl has studied the mechanics of the horse from both inside and outside, as well as working with the Science of Motion in rehabilitating difficult cases. She promotes a revolutionary paradigm on pathologies such as navicular disease, extending our gaze upwards above the hoof itself.

The conference will also have vendors, includes lunch snacks and beverages in the ticket price, and is discounted for members of the CEHCA. We hope to see you there for a fun weekend of learning!
