The 2026 International Hoof-Care Summit (IHCS) is excited to be heading back to the Cincinnati Metro area!
The team is working hard to finalize the full speaker lineup, topics and agenda (to be released in mid-August!), but we wanted to share more details on the return of two attendee-favorites available to you at the 2026 Summit.
|
1. VIP 2-Hour Hands-On Dissection Wet Lab with Paige Poss ($199)
Returning for the third consecutive year, this bonus session delves into the equine hoof', offering farriers and veterinarians valuable insights into its internal structures. In this exclusive 2-hour VIP Hands-On Dissection Wet Lab, Paige Poss of Tucson, Ariz., guides an engaging and informative discussion as attendees examine cadaver limbs before, during and after dissection.
2. Special Equine Limb Dissection with Mitch Taylor ($99)
Understanding anatomy is the foundation of farriery. International Horeshoeing Hall of Famer Mitch Taylor of the Kentucky Horseshoeing School presents a special, extended equine limb dissection featuring an interactive discussion of vital structures that improves your understanding of quality hoof care.
|
Attendees can add one or both of these wet labs to their registration by calling or texting 262-777-2401 or call toll free 866-839-8455. You can also choose to add these on to your exhibitor registration by calling the numbers listed above.
These are just two exciting opportunities we're thrilled to make available to Summit attendees, and I look forward to sharing more session details in the coming months as we finalize the agenda.
I look forward to seeing you in February back in the Cincinnati Metro Area!

"Many different farrier suppliers attended the Summit and I was able to talk to different representatives about how to better tend to current and future clientele. During the trade show, I was able to bring home lots of new updated materials to use and see which one works better for clients and their horses!"
