This recorded webinar features Professor Chris Pollitt explaining the critical anatomy of the equine foot specifically related to laminitis. Drawing on more than 30 years of research from the University of Queensland’s Laminitis Research Unit, Pollitt takes viewers inside the structures that truly determine whether the horse’s foot remains stable or fails.

The session focuses on the suspensory apparatus of the distal phalanx (SADP) — the unique biological system that anchors the pedal bone to the hoof capsule. Understanding how this system works, and where its vulnerabilities lie, is essential for anyone making clinical or farriery decisions around laminitis.
Rather than speculation or internet theory, this webinar presents the anatomical evidence that has shaped modern understanding of lamellar failure. It provides the essential foundation for the rest of the laminitis series and helps viewers see exactly what structures are affected when laminitis develops.
Ideal for farriers, veterinarians and serious horse owners who want to understand laminitis at the anatomical level rather than relying on myths or assumptions.
