Know your horse inside and out — literally.
Understanding your horse’s anatomy is key to keeping them healthy, comfortable, and performing at their best. This demonstration workshop will explore how bones, muscles, and movement connect — and how recognizing the signs of discomfort early can make a big difference. You’ll learn to decode the way your horse moves, uncover common injury risks, and walk away with a toolkit of wellness strategies rooted in real anatomy (no guesswork here!).
When: May 31st, 10:00am - 1:00pm
Where: OSU Extension, Redmond, Building 3 (map)

Know where it hurts — and why
Know where it hurts — and why
We'll take a guided tour through the lower limb anatomy of the horse, breaking down how bones, tendons, and joints team up to create motion. Understanding this interplay helps you become a more observant, supportive rider or caretaker.

Not all limps are created equal. You'll learn how to identify the most common equine injuries, and better yet — what often causes them. With a mix of visuals and discussion, we’ll connect anatomy to real-world biomechanics and decision-making.

WORKSHOP LEADER
Dr. Persia Neumann
Dr. Persia Neumann of Black Diamond grew up immersed in western riding — think cattle sorting, reining, and western dressage. She spent her early years working on a ranch, where a deep love of equine care met a sharp curiosity for science. That combo took her all the way to a veterinary doctorate. Dr. Persia brings heart, humor, and a seriously engaging style to everything she teaches — your horse will thank you!
