WAEO's Annual Webinar
AÂ lifetime, self-paced access to elite scientific research and practical clinical application designed specifically for all equine enthusiasts
Welcome to our highly anticipated annual educational event! Every year, we gather equine enthusiasts and professionals to dive deep into the vital aspects of horse care and performance—and this year, we are focusing entirely on the absolute foundation of it all. We are thrilled to announce that our 2026 Annual Masterclass Webinar is dedicated completely to The Hoof. Over the course of this page, you’ll discover how this fascinating, multi-layered organ functions as the epicenter of equine movement, why unlocking its internal mysteries is a game-changer for both horse health and performance, and how you can secure your spot to learn from our leading experts. Let's dive into the fascinating world beneath the hoof wall.
Beyond the Surface: The Osteopathic Secrets of the Equine Hoof
Your horse’s posture, metabolic health, and performance aren’t just supported by the hoof—they are fundamentally driven by it.
Join us for an exclusive webinar that dives deep into the "Transverse Septa" system, revealing why the hoof is a critical osteopathic powerhouse. We will move beyond standard farriery to explore the "invisible" fascial and mechanical networks that connect the distal limb to the rest of the body.
Driven by Passion, Backed by Science
Behind this webinar is a team of dedicated professionals who live and breathe equine soundness. Our speakers bridge the gap between complex anatomical science and practical, real-world application—combining years of hands-on field experience with a deep reverence for the horse's natural design. They don’t just understand the mechanics of the hoof; they know how to communicate these intricate concepts so you can immediately apply them to your own horse or practice. Tap below to meet the experts who will be guiding your journey into the depths of the equine foot.
 Did you know? Over 80% of lameness issues in horses originate from pathology within the foot.
Understanding the intricacies of the hoof isn't just academic—it is a critical toolkit.
