Ann Ramsey APF-1 Therapeutic Farrier, BS Equine Science, CERA helps to uncover the mysteries of lameness assessment:  In this lecture you will be walked through step by step, how a horse is assessed for lameness.  We break it down so you can understand the progression of the Veterinary lameness assessment.  Lean the important distinction between diagnosing why a horse is lame and simply observing a lameness.  Use these practical skills to discern which leg is the primary problem and which is the compensatory lameness.  In this lecture we discuss the lingering effects of dysfunctional movement patterns that hang around long after the tissues have healed.  The science of pain from the nervous system to the tissue is also discussed.
