From Kentucky, USA at the Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital to giving a seminar and dissection at the New Zealand Pony Club Association's Conference at Ambury Park then back to the forge to be filmed by Country 99 TV for the new series Horsing Around NZ. The Seminar for the NZPCA conference was fantastic, was informative and enjoyed by all, so much so not only did Marcel run well over time but I think he could possibly have gone all day! (food for thought, maybe we could organise My Farrier NZ to come to your neck of the woods and do a dissection / farrier demo in your area contact us with your ideas!). The conference was well run and Marcel was followed by Warwick Behrnes fromNZ Equine Dentistry http://www.horsebusiness.co.nz/ who was amazing also, telling us the percentage of what we know, versus what we know we don't know and then what we don't know we don't know! The red is what we don’t know we don’t know! Anyway fantastic time had by all seeing the inner workings of not only the hoof but the forelimb also, as Marcel dissected and pulled apart a leg (not on the horse of course). We are very lucky to be donated legs for research and to learn from, as with humans it is an important part of learning to see how things work without hurting a live animal and so that more importantly the learning’s can help save lives! Be in touch with us should you want a seminar, dissection or if we could look at something else that may help your area, we are always open to ideas! |
