Head Dissection and Dissection of the Distal Limb

Join Lucinda Stockley, MRes, BSc (Hons), Adv. Cert. Equine Dentistry (Academy of Equine Dentistry, U.S.A.)

Internationally recognised equine dental anatomist and bio-mechanist, and Matt James AWCF, International Master Farrier and co-director of Equus360, for a unique dissection-based learning experience that brings the equine head and lower limb into sharp anatomical and functional focus.

This course offers delegates the rare opportunity to study two of the horse’s most bio-mechanically critical regions:

The Head

Explore the intricate anatomy of the teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), hyoid apparatus, and cranial structures, with discussion of their neurological and bio-mechanical connections to posture, proprioception, and performance.

The Lower Limb

Examine the distal limb, including hoof capsule structures, tendons, ligaments, and distal interphalangeal joint mechanics, with applied insights into farriery, pathology, and locomotor function.
