SUMMARY:Laminitis Myth Buster Series Laminitis: Myth vs Pathology
DESCRIPTION:Laminitis: Myth vs Pathology The ultimate myth-busting session with Professor Pollitt will explode many of the issues in equine laminitis.\n\n\n\nTickets available via Eventbrite here\nLaminitis is one of the most devastating diseases affecting domesticated horses\, responsible for the second-highest number of equine euthanasia cases worldwide. Despite decades of research\, misconceptions about its causes\, mechanisms\, and treatment still persist. This final session gives attendees the confidence to separate fact from fiction – permanently. \nIn this The ultimate myth-busting session. \nThe Myths addressed by Professor Pollitt include: \n\n“Laminitis starts in the sole.”\nPoor farrier trims cause P3 rotation\n“Only fat ponies get laminitis.”\n“Once the horse is sound\, the laminitis is gone.”\n“Rotation only happens in severe cases.”\n“You can fix laminitis with trimming or shoeing alone.”\n\nThis final session gives attendees the confidence to separate fact from fiction—permanently. \nThis program is an extraordinary opportunity: Pollitt rarely presents an extended\, public-access educational series of this depth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe HoofFlix Myth Buster Series\, sponsored by 3D Anatomize\, brings unprecedented clarity to this complex disease \nThis is the only public-access CPD series in which Pollitt will personally dismantle long-held myths and translate nearly 50 years of clinical and scientific research into clear\, practical guidance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Professor Chris Pollitt Professor Chris Pollitt BVSc PhD\, is one of the most influential figures in modern equine veterinary science. His landmark research at the University of Queensland revolutionised global understanding of laminitis—including: \n\nThe discovery of lamellar stretch and separation mechanisms\nVascular\, inflammatory\, endocrinological\, and mechanical pathways of laminitis\nThe hoof capsule–lamellar interface in both healthy and diseased feet\n3D mapping of lamellar anatomy\nDevelopment of digital venography for laminitic assessment\nGroundbreaking studies on insulin dysregulation and metabolic laminitis\n\nHe has authored or co-authored hundreds of peer-reviewed papers\, mentored numerous researchers\, and remains a globally respected authority whose work is foundational to every modern text on laminitis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend – And WhyThis series is essential for: \n✔ Farriers\nGain a deep\, anatomical and biomechanical understanding that improves trimming\, shoeing\, and long-term laminitis rehabilitation. \n✔ Veterinarians & Vet Students\nSharpen clinical diagnosis\, improve radiographic interpretation\, and update treatment strategies based on the very latest evidence. \n✔ Hoofcare Practitioners & Paraprofessionals\nBuild confidence in assessment\, imaging interpretation\, and real-world management. \n✔ Horse Owners\, Trainers & Riders\nUnderstand what laminitis really is\, how it develops\, and what early warning signs should never be ignored. \n✔ Equine Educators\nUse the most accurate research available to teach anatomy\, pathology\, and hoof care. \nIf you own\, care for\, or work with horses\, you cannot afford to misunderstand laminitis.\nThis series gives you the most accurate\, scientifically backed information available anywhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes Attendees will leave this session with the ability to: \n\nRecognise early laminitis warning signs with far greater accuracy\nUnderstand the true anatomy and function of the healthy hoof\nExplain exactly what happens during laminitis—not the myths\nDistinguish between acute\, developing\, and chronic laminitis\nInterpret radiographs and venograms with greater clarity\nUnderstand lamellar biomechanics and their failure points\nMake informed decisions about ongoing management and treatment\nEvaluate shoeing\, trimming\, and rehabilitation protocols critically\nCommunicate confidently with vets\, farriers\, and owners using correct terminology\nIdentify research-supported strategies—and spot misinformation instantly\n\nThis is not a surface-level overview.\nThis is Pollitt’s lifetime of research explained in clear\, practical terms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions \n1. Do I need previous veterinary knowledge to attend?\nNo. Pollitt presents complex science in clear\, accessible language. All levels are welcome. \n2. Will I receive recordings if I register but can’t attend live?\nYes. All attendees receive downloadable recordings after each session. \n3. Is this CPD certified?\nYes. Each webinar provides CPD hours recognised by most equine professional bodies. \n4. Are live Q&A sessions included?\nAbsolutely. Each session includes ample time for direct Q&A with Professor Pollitt. \n5. Can I purchase individual sessions?\nYes. \n\n£44 per webinar for HoofFlix subscribers\n£57.50 per webinar for non-subscribers\n\n6. Do I need any special software?\nNo. You will receive a direct access link\, desktop\, tablet\, and mobile friendly.
