Hock and Stifle Dissection -
18th Oct, Surrey
A unique opportunity to see within the workings of the equine stifle and hock, with our led dissection day. Ideal for equine practitioners, coaches and farriers
What you'll be learning
Anatomy - what goes where & why
Refresh your anatomy knowledge starting with a classroom based lecture from our vet Kate. Then get 'hands on' with our led dissection to discover exactly what goes where, how and why it all works together. We will be examining nerves, muscles, the roles of each hock joint, the complexity of the stifle, the patella articulation. and so much more
Diseases & pathologies
Our dissection days allow our attendees to really look close up at the presentation of various diseases and pathologies. The training will cover Juvenile OA, DJD, Synovitis, Bone Spavins, PSD, Avulsion Injury, Locking Stifles, OCD, Chondromalacia,, Patella fracture, Patellar ligament desmitis, Arthritis, and so much more.
Prevention & helping horses
The ethos behind NKC Equestrian Training is helping horses. The dissection day will look at the steps we can take as riders, owners and professionals to prevent disorders in the hock and stifle and improve understanding of signs and symptoms that so often get missed.
Hands on
This training is a led dissection by vet Kate Granshaw, but you will have ample opportunity to get as hands on as you wish throughout the day.
A favourite part of this training is when we allow delegates to have a go at a joint injection into the hock - it's harder than you think!
