| 1:10 pm - 2:00 pm | Orientations of the Coffin Bone within the Capsule and It's Relationship to Foot Balance (Part 1) Mitch Taylor, Kentucky Horseshoeing School Opening the Summit, Mitch Taylor will focus directly on the foot this year. He will review the internal structure of the hoof capsule, paying close attention to the coffin bone.
During this on-stage dissection, the owner/head instructor of the Kentucky Horseshoeing School in Richmond, Ky., will show how you should visualize the orientation of the coffin bone within the hoof capsule, and how the coffin bone remodels according to hoof imbalances. The dissection will utilize a close-up camera so all attendees can see on a big screen the subtle details that Taylor will discuss. Why You Shouldn’t Miss This: You’ll develop a better understanding of how the foot’s internal structures influence your approach to trimming and shoeing. |
