I’m prioritizing programs that help prevent reinjury in sport horses; looking at a 2‑day Lexington course in March with distal limb ultrasound labs (13 MHz linear probe) and objective gait analysis demos. For those who’ve done similar, did it change your prevention protocols for suspensory and DFT cases, or is there another course that delivered more practical, barn‑side takeaways?
Did the March Lexington course; the biggest change was using ‘objective gait analysis’ thresholds (I hold >6 mm head or >3 mm pelvic asymmetry before advancing) and standardizing speed/surface, which cut suspensory/DFT re-injury for me. The 13 MHz labs were great for PSL/DDFT mapping, but barn-side practicality was better from an ISELP foot balance/shoeing module (https://www.iselp.org). If you can swing it, do Lexington and then add that ISELP weekend.
After a similar lab, I standardized 13 MHz presets and started tracking suspensory branch CSA at zones 1A–2A, only progressing work when CSA asymmetry <10% and fibers looked “corduroy” on short-axis; pairing that with @jameson_w94’s IMU thresholds cut my reinjury rate noticeably. If you want something even more barn-side, the ISELP suspensory/fetlock module felt more practical than a general course: https://iselp.org.
