ONLINE LECTURE SERIES CONTENT
Equine practitioners are regularly exposed to various and sometimes contradicting opinions on podiatry and farriery, especially on therapeutic shoeing. This is exacerbated by the fact that most veterinarians graduate and go into practice with minimal training in farriery and shoeing. Additionally, imaging of the foot and pastern is an area of equine practice that has undergone considerable development in the last few years.
This webinar series approaches the subject from a veterinary perspective, while aiming to equip equine practitioners to have meaningful and informed discussions on therapeutic trimming and shoeing with their farriers.
The following topics will be covered by world experts through highly-illustrated lectures:
- Hoof Problems in Foals - Corrective Shoeing for Angular & Flexural Limb Deformities
- Foot Care for Horses with Chronic Laminitis - Theory & Cases
- Foot Care for horses with Chronic Laminitis – The Vet’s perspective
- Remedial Farriery for Conditions of the Foot – White Line Disease & Canker
- Remedial Farriery for Hoof Capsule Conditions - Underrun Heels, Club Feet & Sheared Heels
- Remedial Farriery for Hoof Capsule Conditions – Infections, Cracks & Poor Wall Quality
- Q&A / Case Discussions
Dr. Steve O'Grady was a professional farrier for ten years prior to obtaining his degree in veterinary medicine. He learned the farrier trade through a formal apprenticeship under "Hall of Fame" farrier, Joseph M. Pierce, of West Chester, Pennsylvania. He then returned to school, completed his undergraduate studies at Haverford College and received his DVM degree from the University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science in South Africa in 1981. He operates Virginia Therapeutic Farriery in Keswick, Virginia which is a referral practice devoted to equine foot disease and therapeutic farriery. Recently, he joined Palm Beach Equine Clinic in Wellington, FL as a consultant in farriery during the Winter Equestrian Festival. He also operates a consulting service where he travels worldwide to lecture and treat complicated podiatry cases.
He has published over 40 manuscripts in both the national and international peer-reviewed veterinary literature, numerous articles in the farrier journals, written 17 book chapters and edited two editions of the Veterinary Clinics of North America – Equine Practice: one on Equine Podiatry and the other on Therapeutic Farriery - all resulting from his extensive work in equine podiatry. He is a member of the International Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame and in 2010 received the prestigious AAEP President’s Award for his work in farrier education. In 2019, he was awarded the coveted gold medal from The South African Veterinary Association and in 2020 received the AAEP’s Distinguished Educator Award. In 2024, Dr. O’Grady was placed on The Foundation of the Horse’s My Mentor Honor Wall.
