The annual lecture—the first endowed lecture series established at the SVM—honors the memory of Charles Heumphreus, the school’s farrier from 1967 to 1985. The program was initiated to foster the veterinarian-farrier relationship in order to develop a better understanding of equine foot disorders.
Faculty member Dr. Mary Beth Whitcomb is the chair of the 2018 event, assisted by UC Davis farrier Shane Westman, along with Drs. Eric Davis, Larry Galuppo and Claudia Sonder.
The morning lecture session will include Daisy Bicking presenting “Hoof Mapping - Relating External Landmarks to Internal Anatomy in the Laminitic Foot” and “Rehabilitating the Chronically Laminitic Foot Using Composite Materials”.
The morning lecture session will include Daisy Bicking presenting “Hoof Mapping - Relating External Landmarks to Internal Anatomy in the Laminitic Foot” and “Rehabilitating the Chronically Laminitic Foot Using Composite Materials”.
Dr. Frank's lecture, “The Role of Endocrine Disorders in Laminitis”, will present background information for farriers and veterinarians to better understand the association between laminitis and pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) and equine metabolic syndrome (EMS).
The afternoon hands-on session will include a demonstration by Daisy Bicking on evaluating the laminitic foot, including hoof mapping and trimming, followed by selection and application of composite materials. She will then be joined by UC Davis farrier Shane Westman for a hands-on opportunity for farriers and veterinarians to apply the techniques described during the demonstration using models and/or equine limbs. The afternoon session has a limited capacity (40), so early registration is strongly encouraged.
Following the Heumphreus Lecture, Dr. Frank will present “Navigating the Minefield of PPID and EMS Diagnostic Testing” and “Management of the Challenging Endocrine Case,” which will require separate registration through the equine Winter Conference.

She has presented at Cornell University, International Hoof-Care Summit, Laminitis Conference and International Lameness Prevention Conference.
