Fall LLHA Hoof Dissection Clinic

Join us for the fall LLHA clinic at the Hooved Animal Humane Society in Woodstock, Illinois. This year’s clinician, Heather Beauchemin, CJF, TE, FE, AWCF, will lead a hands-on hoof dissection focused on anatomy and pathology.

What to expect

Participants will dissect a cadaver specimen individually or in pairs. Heather will guide the group through the basic structures of the hoof and help identify and discuss any abnormalities found during the dissection.
