Performance practitioners: Refine your pre-purchase exam technique at hands-on Focus meeting
A proper and thorough pre-purchase exam is fundamental to providing practical advice to your client considering acquisition of an equine athlete. But what constitutes a comprehensive exam? Which abnormalities are acceptable, and which demand further scrutiny based on the intended use of the horse?
At the AAEP Focus on Sport Horse Pre-Purchase Exam, May 2–3 at Spy Coast Farm in Lexington, Ky., you’ll acquire pre-purchase exam protocols applicable to all sporting disciplines from an all-star cast of performance practitioners; techniques from board-certified specialists to further investigate identified issues; and judicious guidance from veteran equine attorneys to avoid negligence claims.
Among the clinical topics covered will be upper airway endoscopy, radiography and alternative imaging, cardio-pulmo- nary testing, ophthalmic exam, dynamic gait analysis, and distinguishing between neurologic or lame. The meeting will utilize a flipped classroom model in which registrants will view relevant talks online prior to the event so that in-person time is focused on experiential learning.
On-site, you’ll observe a pre-purchase exam demonstration and rotate through six wet labs that will refine your pre- purchase examination skills on live horses at stations devoted to:
• Radiography of the neck and back • Radiography of the foot, hock and stifle • Radiography of the fetlock, metacarpus and carpus •
Practical takeaways include:
• Understanding the components of a comprehensive exam • Employing imaging modalities to clarify issues discovered • Knowing when to consult a specialist • Communicating expectations and results with clients effectively • Avoiding legal/malpractice pitfalls
