The Fifth Tex Cauthen Farrier / Veterinarian / Researcher Seminar will be an entirelySeminar Sunday, Jan. 24, 2021, 9.00 AM, from the Gluck Equine

Research Center. The focus of this seminar is the Horse, the Hoof and the Sesamoids. It begins with a welcome to The Gluck Equine Research Center by the Director, Dr. David Horohov, following which Dr. Stuart E. Brown II, DVM, overviews safety matters and moderates the morning session which presents an update in the area of motion sensor technology. The Equinosis technology presents first, with Dr. Abbie Haffner outlining racetrack data collection, followed by an analysis of the results by Professor Kevin Keegan. Next we have an update from Dr. David Lambert on accelerometer data acquired at racing speeds in Thoroughbred Horses. We then go Singapore, where Dr. Bronte Forbes brings us up to date on use of the Equinosis “Lameness Locator” technology by the Singapore Turf Club, followed by Dr. Ryan Carpenter who will present on west coast approaches to injury mitigation and Dr Mathieu Spriet, who will review current research with Positron Emission Tomography.

lunch break, most generously hosted by Mr. Doug Watkins and Breeder’s Farrier Supply of Lexington.

The afternoon focuses on the proximal sesamoids and is moderated by Prof. Scott D. Stanley. Sesamoid structure and function are first reviewed by Mr. Mitch Taylor and Dr. Jenny Hagen of Leipzig, Germany, following which Dr. Deborah Spike-Pierce of Rood and Riddle addresses sesamoiditis in yearlings and effects on racing performance. Then Mr. Steve Stanley presents on shoeing strategies that optimize sesamoid bone protection, followed by presentations from Dr. Cage Cruise and Professor Michael Savoldi. The session closes with a round table discussion, moderated by Prof. Stanley with Mr. Taylor, Dr. Hagen, Dr. Spike-Pierce, Mr. Steve Stanley, Dr. Cage Cruise and Prof. Savoldi, Mr. Hans Albrecht and Dr. Thomas Tobin.
