About the event
**Outline**
After the succes of the first series, Zefanja and Thirza will present two more interesting case studies that all have
a unique story to tell from their life 'inside-out'. We take you through their live as well as their dissection findings and what we can learn from this and how we could possibly manage various complications with proper management and training exercises.
The webinars will be live-streamed, but also available 7 days for anyone who can't watch it live at CET time. See below for more detailed information on all the case studies and topics.
**Dates & Stories**
February 7th 2020 at 10.00 CET - Elmo
Topics: Kissing spines
Growth Plates Considerations
Elmo was a 5 year old gelding bred as a Polo horse, but he turned out to be too big. He was badly neclected. Luckily he was then bought by his last owner Ymke for the purpose of eventing. Ymke has done an outstanding job in getting him healthy. When he was a bit older and looked better she slowly started to train him, but then he quickly became lame on and off. His performances never really improved. She took him to the vets and he was diagnosed with kissing spines. From there again she did everything in her power to help him, but he only deteriorated and as such he was donated for dissection so we could unravel the secrets of his body.
So what lessons can we learn from him? In this webinar we'll share the life of Elmo, what we found during her dissection and what we came across during preparation of the skeleton. Topics that will come across include the effect of under nutrition on the gowth plates / fusing process of the young horse, kissing spines and much more. Thirza will also talk about training solutions for horses diagnoses with KS and you are free to ask her all kinds of questions about it.
February 14th 2020 at 10.00 CET - Mokkur
Topics: Anatomical differences between Primitive & Domesticate Horses
The influence on tack on the horse's scapula, joints & vertebral column
Mokkur was a 30-year old Icelandic horse who came to the end of his life and was dissected. His dissection revealed that he had some primitive trais. As such, Wwe are going to take you into the world of the "primitive" horses. Why can an Icelander carry more weight? What makes the "primitive" so special? What changes are there compared to domesticates?
Apart from that we will also share some finding on the influence of tack on the horse as well as highlight respiratory disease (COPD) in horses.
In this webinar we'll share the life of Mokkur, what we found during her dissection and what we came across during preparation of the skeleton. We will also give some tips on how to possibly manage these conditions in your horse.
