Got a Curve Ball Rehab Case? Rehab Rounds Welcomes It!
Rehab Rounds are one of IGNITE’s most popular programs and the gates are open for submission of new cases for consideration.
In a common veterinary education format, Rehab Rounds examine all facets of an injury or condition affecting a sport horse. Details start with the symptoms and steps taken to get an accurate diagnosis. They progress to treatments and methods used to get the horse back to health and, ideally, its original or intended level of performance.

Diverse Expertise Applied to the High-Performance Hoof
Veterinarians, farriers and footing experts gather April 26-27 in Texas to advance knowledge surrounding the proactive care and management of performance horses’ feet.
Presented by IGNITE, the From The Ground Up workshops and lectures are unique in bringing world renowned experts together and encouraging a 360°, team approach to managing the high-performance hoof.
The focus on preventing injuries, improving performance and career longevity distinguishes this event from educational agendas focused “putting out fires,” notes presenter Mark Silverman.
