No. 66 Nic Barker, What predisposes a horse to injury by assessing the hooves and movement.

Nic owns and runs Rockley Farm, where we specialize in equine lameness rehabilitation, particularly working with horses who have DDFT, collateral ligament, and navicular bone injuries. Since 2004 we have had several hundred horses come through the farm and we have a good success rate in returning horses to the same level of work or higher than before they were injured. Our own horses hunt over the rugged terrain of Exmoor and have hard-working, high performing hooves which I believe have helped to keep them sound over many years of high mileage work. I've written 2 books: "Feet First" and "Performance Hoof, Performance Horse" and have also presented numerous workshops in the UK, US, and New Zealand. Nic will be talking about how to assess hooves and movement, what predisposes a horse to injury (or soundness), and what you can do to improve your horse's feet and give them the best chance of soundness.
