Equine Guelph Short Course – Sport Horse Injury/Lameness Prevention & Care

Learn how to prevent injury and manage lameness!

Performance horses compete in a wide range of athletic activities, each with their own “typical” injuries and lameness issues. Horses in recreational activities also have many lameness issues. Regardless of which sport or which level you train/ride/compete at, lameness issues top the list for veterinary visits and poor performance. In comparison to the racehorse with a rather short career, our recreational and sport horses are often actively training and competing for well over a decade!

This online short course can be of benefit for all horse owners, trainers, riders and farriers to help prevent injury and manage lameness. Our goal is to focus on evidence-based medicine and dive into the rapidly developing world of injury prevention and rehabilitation.
