Dealing with a horse whose spooky behaviour and bucking led to a rider fall and injury

Description

Presented by Dr Helen Spence.

Helen will discuss how she used differential diagnosis to assess the horse’s behaviour, and the subsequent diagnosis of kissing spines, which required surgery. In this webinar, Helen will help attendees further develop their understanding of the complexity of interaction between pain and behaviour, and how fixing one does not necessarily automatically fix the other. Rehabilitation in this case was not straight forward and she will help attendees recognise behavioural indicators of equine fatigue and discomfort during rehabilitation training, and how these can be used to inform the pace of progress.
