If you'd like to learn the anatomy of your horse's hooves or how they work, this is a great, affordable option!
Would you like to explore the equine foot with me?
I’m thinking about running the 2-hour live Zoom classes again on the internal anatomy of the equine foot. Class will be 40 usd and recorded.
This class is designed for anyone who would like to understand the structures of the equine foot, where they are, what they are made of, and what they do. We will be looking at real feet and real dissections, bones, models, and no boring whiteboards!
It’s an introductory class, so you don’t need any previous anatomy knowledge. It will give you a solid foundation to build on.
We’ll work through the foot in a logical, step-by-step way, with each structure building on the last.
By the end of the class you’ll have a much clearer understanding of how the whole foot works together.
We’ll cover:
The outer foot
• Hoof wall
• Bars
• Frog
• Sole
• White line
The inner foot
• The scaffold – bones, ligaments and tendons
• The suspension system – the laminae
• The important back of the foot – the inner frog, digital cushion and ungual cartilages
Blood supply
• How the foot receives nutrients.
• How blood supports healthy tissues and supplies the energy needed for the foot to function
Finally, we’ll bring everything together to understand how these structures work as a team to support the horse, dissipate energy, and protect the limb.
We’ll also briefly discuss what can go wrong, including:
• Laminitis
• White line disease
• Navicular disease
• Thrush
If you’ve ever looked at the hoof and wondered, “What’s actually inside there?” then this class is for you.
