For most owners, the lameness investigation can feel like a mystery. Your vet arrives, watches your horse trot, presses and prods, maybe does some flexion tests… and then starts talking about blocks, scans, and referrals.
It’s a lot to take in. And when you don’t fully understand the process, it’s hard to feel confident about the decisions you’re being asked to make.
This webinar changes that.
We’ll take you through an overview of the entire lameness investigation – step by step, stage by stage – from the moment you notice something’s wrong, all the way through to getting a diagnosis. then you can dive into our other videos that look at each stage in more depth.
You’ll learn:
- Where it all starts – history, observation, and the physical exam
- Gait assessment – what your vet is looking for when your horse moves
- Flexion tests – what they do and what they tell us
- Lunging and ridden work – why circles and riders can reveal hidden problems
- Nerve blocks – how vets pinpoint the source of pain
- Diagnostic imaging – X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, and when each is used
- Putting it all together – how your vet reaches a diagnosis
Think of this as your roadmap. Once you understand the journey, you’ll feel more confident at every stage – and better equipped to work alongside your vet to get answers for your horse.
This is the “start here” video for our webinar series. Each topic we cover here has its own dedicated webinar if you want to go deeper
