Pre-ICRAV Veterinary Workshop on Equine Kinetics and Evidence-based Objective Lameness Measurements and Pre-Race Veterinary Inspections
The two-day Veterinary Workshop will allow delegates to update their knowledge and skills in the area of equine kinematics and lameness assessment, with a focus on understanding the objective measurement of a horses’ gait, how these technologies are being used in equine veterinary medicine and their current and future relevance to racing regulation. We are pleased to have world-renowned experts in objective gait analysis as presentors, including Professor Kevin Keegan from the University of Missouri as our main speaker.
The Pre-ICRAV Veterinary Workshop will be held at the Sha Tin Racecourse and Equine Hospital of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
