Therapeutic modules at Kentucky Horseshoeing School
This week I will bring to you a clinic series I participated in back in July 2007.
Thank you Mitch Taylor and the Kentucky Horseshoeing School staff for the best therapeutic hoof care clinic I have participated in. This is exactly what I wanted out of a clinic at that time. Actually, I haven’t seen it available anywhere else or at any other time, so lucky me!
The format was 2 clinics done on different weekends basically comparing and contrasting the Dr. Scott Morrison and Rood & Riddle way to the Dr. George Platt and Burney Chapman way. Absolutely fascinating and a tremendous help to my business.
Module 1 was Rood & Riddle’s Dr. Scott Morrison and staff with some great lectures and hands on demos and practice. Well organized and broad in subject. The demos were about the use of various glue on applications and welding aluminum shoes. There were lots of products there for us to work with after that.
Module 2 was Dr. Platt’s lecture and demo focused more on the proper use of heartbars and dorsal resections re-pioneered by Burney Chapman and himself. The last part of the clinic, Mitch brought out his cadaver leg compression machine to run some experiments and demonstrations of the response of the coffin bone to differing support and resection variables.

Sounds like the 2007 clinic presented great lectures and demos, especially the cadaver leg coffin bone demos.
That is true! Clinic season starts again! I’ll be in Ocala a few times this year. That ought to be fun.
