A bit about how we got to this point & why we keep sharing
Dallas w morgan cjf background & philosophy
In 2002, we opened an Equine Veterinary and Farrier Hospital in Upstate New York. The primary focus of the hospital is lameness diagnostics and therapeutic treatments. I enjoy seeing therapeutic cases in the hospital with my wife; as well as travel to private stables to shoe horses. The majority of horses in my business at this time are show hunters, jumpers, dressage horses, eventers and a few western show horses.
I have spoken and demonstrated at many clinics and conventions throughout the United States, Canada and Brazil. The overall highlights would be as Keynote Speaker for the American Farriers Convention, Western Canadian Farriers Annual Convention and the Quebec Farriers Convention. In September 2012 Jessica and I traveled throughout Australia and New Zealand lecturing together at TAFE Colleges and Universities.
These are a few of the topics I enjoy speaking about and demonstrating
Asymmetrical shoeing techniques that support bone and soft tissue pathology in sport horses
How to utilize ground force reaction to positively affect a horse’s performance
Effective keg shoe modifications that will assist bone and soft tissue pathologies
Strategies that will improve veterinary farrier relationships
Forging techniques for competitors
Efficiency in every day shoe making including tool maintenance
Broad topic conversations regarding our industry, with the philosophy of educating and including Farriers of any skill level for the betterment and welfare of the horse
Shoemaking for horseshoeing and competition
Tool making and maintenance
My forging and horseshoeing philosophies have been modeled and molded by some of the world’s greatest Farriers who I consider my mentors, colleagues and friends. Bob Marshall (Can), Billy Crothers (UK), Jim Keith (NM) and Burney Chapman (TX) to name only a few of the people who have had a profound impact on my career.
I am a Mustad sponsored clinician and have enjoyed giving hands on demonstrations and lectures for them throughout the United States Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
In an effort to get back to competitive shoemaking after a 7 year hiatus, I won the World Championship Blacksmith (WCB) Overall High Point and Open Division Winner at Flagstaff AZ in June 2008.

Jessica L Morgan DVM background & Philosophy
My practice is focused on performance horses. I have developed a systematic approach to keeping them fit, sound and competing happily. Correct diagnosis and logical treatments are my primary goal. I am a huge fan of diagnostic imaging. I love ultrasounding horses! I get excited about working and I am incredibly proud of the horses that I treat and go on to compete to the best of their ability weather it is in the local show arena or on an international level.
I achieved those advanced skills by qualifying, sitting and passing the International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology examination under the guidance of Jean-Marie Denoix. I was the first woman in the world to achieve certification in Locomotor Pathology. It is an honor and privilege to be a student of Dr. Denoix's.
The International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology is a comprehensive program of advanced education in the field of equine lamenesses and osteoarticular, musculotendinous and nervous pathology, covering all parts of the locomotor system of the horse. We present the anatomical and biomechanical data allowing understanding of the etiopathogenesis of the lesions as well as the management of the different conditions. We share the latest developments in diagnostic imaging of bones, joints, tendons, muscles, nervous system. We are interested in standardization of imaging procedures for a better communication between practitioners. We want to improve our technical skills in the use of non-invasive diagnostic procedures and add publications of new diagnostic procedures, new concepts in pathologic conditions of the equine locomotor system and unknown clinical entities.
I have prepared original material that translates information Farriers can use. Dallas and I have presented as Keynote Speakers at the American Farriers Convention, the Western Canadian Farriers Annual Convention, the Quebec Farriers Convention, the Ontario Farriers Convention and many US based professional Farrier organizations. For three weeks in September 2012 we traveled to TAFE Colleges and Universities throughout Australia and New Zealand lecturing for Mustad Australia.
Helping Farriers understand anatomy, diagnostic imaging and how it applies to them bridges the gap between Farriers and Veterinarians. In the end, this collection of information results in unparalleled service and commitment to the horse by a wide range of professionals and a great sense of satisfaction for me.
Topics of my lectures are:
Anatomical, Diagnostic & Therapeutic Review of the Front Limb for Farriers
Anatomical, Diagnostic & Therapeutic Review of the Hind Limb for Farriers
Current Equine Diagnostics, Therapies & Farriery for Horse Owners
Current concepts in Equine Veterinary Imaging: RG, US, MRI, CT and Nuclear Medicine

Lecture Attendee comments
The Mustad Lameness workshop held by Dallas and Jessica Morgan (USA) was one of the most inspiring and informative veterinary events that I have attended. I had a great day and am glad that I was able to volunteer and help organize the event.
I have a keen interest in equine medicine and was impressed by the high level of knowledge and professionalism displayed by both speakers. It is amazing to witness the impact that technology can have on diagnostics in lameness, a notoriously common and difficult area of equine medicine. This kind of technology would be much sought after for owners of talented and expensive sporting horses and the service that can now be provided to these clients is excellent, especially with the addition of a specialized farriery on site!
It was a great experience to meet with farriers and to hear their take on vets and on equine lameness. It highlighted to me the need for a good relationship and excellent communication between vets and farriers in order to provide the best possible outcome for lameness patients. Personally it was a great opportunity for me to gather contacts of specialists working within a field that I am interested in. It is always great to see the variations on the traditional veterinarian’s career and different directions that you can take your career. This workshop was an invaluable experience and one that I would recommend to any student in this degree.
I would like to say that both of you did a GREAT job with your lectures at the Can-Am in Orangeville, Ontario. Your way of presenting us with a problem and how it was caused, then turn around and show us how to repair it was very well done. Keep up the good work. Hope to hear more of your lectures in the future.

Farriers: Do you take pride in knowing how to incorporate the latest technology? Is helping your clients' horses be their best your primary goal? Appropriate for horse owners and farriers, this seminar will help you learn how to understand and utilize the latest diagnostic veterinary tools. |
2012 Mustad Australia and New Zealand Lecture Series
Dallas and Jessica Morgan were in Australia and New Zealand September 2012 for Mustad Australia Road Show. They gave one day lectures in Western Australia, Epping Victoria, Scone, Brisbane Queensland, Hawksbury and New Zealand. Go to the blog page to follow the lecture series.
Kicking off the lecture series, at 8 am on March 2nd and again at 8am and 2pm on March 3rd, Dallas and Jessica will give 6 hours of lecture on Anatomical, Diagnostic , Treatment and Forging Techniques for the Front and Hind Limb.
The sessions will consist of an anatomical review of the front and hind limb highlighting structures that are important for Farriers to be familiar with. Line drawings, photographs and anatomical specimens will illustrate the connection between anatomy and current diagnostic imaging techniques including Radiography, Ultrasonography and MRI.
Common soft tissue and bone lesions will be presented in case study format with video, images, treatment and horseshoeing approaches complete with step by step forging videos.
On March 4th, they will be giving demonstrations that will include a live anatomical ultrasound demonstration by Dr. Morgan, and a lameness evaluation demonstrating the stepwise process of working up a case with a farrier, a veterinarian and the Lameness Locator by Equinosis. Dallas Morgan will demonstrate horseshoeing and forging techniques that support bone and soft tissue pathology.
