UP AND COMING EQUINE WEBINARS

with Kristin Dean: Human and Equine Physiotherapist (B.App.Sc (Phty), CERP, APA L2 Animal Physiotherapy)

There is significant research identifying key performance indicators for a successful show jump. This webinar will discuss the biomechanics of showjumping, the use of objective gait analysis to be effective in injury management and minimization, and to help our equine athletes to optimize their performance.

with Fiona Bloom: MSc 

Rehabilitation and optimal performance require ongoing commitment from the owner and a collaborative approach to optimise the outcome. This lecture will look at how different strength/ stability and proprioceptive exercises can be scaled up or down and tailored to the horse/ handler to achieve specific goals.

with Kristin Dean: Human and Equine Physiotherapist (B.App.Sc (Phty), CERP, APA L2 Animal Physiotherapy) 

A discussion around the current literature for equine rehabilitation, ways in which we can apply human rehabilitation principles and practices to the horse, along with a case study example of how we have structured a rehabilitation program in a case of a severe SDFT injury.

with Sybille Molle: DVM, DACVSMR, CERT

This webinar will focus on a general overview of the modalities currently used within equine rehabilitation protocols, their mechanisms of action, and some references to the available literature.

with Fiona Bloom: MSc BSc MCSP HCPC ACPAT

The endurance horse has been described as the ultimate athlete with both aerobic and anaerobic requirements, differing terrains, speeds, and of course the challenge of up to 160km cannot be underestimated. This lecture will give an understanding of the requirements of an endurance horse and discuss how members of their professional team could try to minimize their risk of injury and ultimately improve their competitive performance.
