TWO Upcoming Hoof-Care Webinars You Don’t Want to Miss
If you care about horses — especially their feet — these next few webinars are a goldmine.
Whether you’re a farrier, vet, trainer, or hands-on owner, these sessions dig into hoof science, biomechanics, and real solutions. Here are three upcoming events from the HoofFlix Myth Busters series:
1. From the Ground Up: Equine Podiatry with Dr. Sammy Pitman (PAST EVENT)
🔍 What to expect: Dr. Pitman bridges veterinary insight with farriery. We’ll go deep on diagnosing hoof issues, interpreting radiographs, and integrating podiatric practice from the bottom up.
📅 Date & time: Oct 2, 2025 at 8:00pm BST = https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/from-the-ground-up-equine-podiatry-with-dr-sammy-pitman-tickets-1692723334059
🎯 Ideal for: Those wanting to unify veterinary science with hoof trimming/shoeing decisions.
2. Revolutionising Hoof Care: The Self-Adjusting Palmar Angle Shoe with Ronald Aalders
🔍 What to expect: A session on the mechanics of a self-adjusting palmar angle (SAPAS) shoe. How it shifts load, supports heel structures, and offers dynamic adjustment inside the foot.
📄 Background: The use and theory behind SAPAS has been explored in research, showing impacts on sole thickness and heel support.
📅 Date & time: Oct 23, 2025 at 7:00pm BST = https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/revolutionising-hoof-care-the-self-adjusting-palmar-angle-shoe-tickets-1148553517489
🎯 Ideal for: Farriers or hoof professionals eager to experiment with or understand modern, adaptive shoeing mechanics.
3. Practical Solutions for Equine Hoof Care with Dr. Steve O’Grady
🔍 What to expect: A more general (but practical) session covering distortions, laminitis, biomechanics, and real-life case studies. This is the kind of content you can take home and integrate into your work tomorrow.
📅 Date & time: Oct 30, 2025 at 7:00pm BST = https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/practical-solutions-for-equine-hoof-care-hoofflix-tickets-1701474137949
🎯 Ideal for: Everyone from owners who want to understand what’s happening under their horse’s hoof to professionals seeking a fresh clinical perspective.
Why these matter — and why now
Applied, not abstract: Each session focuses on doing, not just theory. Real cases, radiographs, shoeing decisions.
Upgrading your toolbox: Even if you’ve done this work for years, new perspectives (e.g. SAPAS mechanics) can shift how you think about balance, heel support, or foot mass.
Cross-disciplinary value: If you’re a vet, trainer, or owner, you’ll gain better dialogue with farriers. If you’re a farrier, you’ll sharpen your evidence base.
