Between both afternoons, 7 hours of small group sessions (2 – 4 attendees / ultrasound machine) will give attendees plenty of opportunity to put theory into practice on live horses under the supervision of the specialists. There will furthermore be plenty of time for discussions and each attendee will rotate through the following practical stations:
Coffin, Pastern & Fetlock Joints
Digital Flexor Tendon Sheath
Carpus & Carpal Sheath
