Equine Case Study 3: Shoulder Injuries & Upper Limb Lameness

Most shoulder injuries aren’t actually in the shoulder—until they are. This in-depth case study class breaks down the myths, the mechanics, and the misdiagnoses surrounding equine shoulder lameness. Through a 1.5-hour recorded video lecture packed with real-world cases, advanced diagnostics, and clear anatomical context, you’ll learn how to recognize when the shoulder is the issue, and when it’s not.

We’ll explore a wide range of conditions including bicipital bursitis, OCD lesions, scapular fractures, Sweeney, radial nerve paralysis, and compensatory soft tissue patterns that often get mistaken for primary shoulder problems. You’ll follow multiple horses through diagnosis and treatment, including bone scans, ultrasound imagery, and surgical insights.

Whether you’re a horse owner, barn manager, or vet tech, this course will sharpen your eye for upper limb lameness and help you better collaborate with veterinarians for long-term recovery plans.

Includes:

• 1.5-hour video lecture
