Hall of Fame honor for horse lameness researcher
Dr Sue Dyson has been inducted into the International Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame, inwards recognition of her contribution to hoof tending inwards horses.
Dr Dyson is Head of Clinical Orthopaedics at the Animal Health Trust, where she has worked for thirty years. She has lectured internationally too is known for both her clinical move amongst horses too an extensive inquiry record, having published to a greater extent than than 200 refereed papers on lameness too diagnostic imaging inwards scientific journals. She has equally good co-authored several veterinary textbooks equally good equally preparation too competing equally a high-level passenger inwards international events.
Established inwards 1997, the International Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame honours veterinarians who guide keep contributed to the knowledge too recognition of proper hoof tending for horses. Vets are nominated either equally practicing equine vets who move closely amongst farriers inwards the field, or equally college too manufacture vets involved inwards teaching, inquiry or other of import aspects of equine veterinary too hoof care.
Anyone tin nominate an equine vet for the award, which is sponsored past times the American Farriers Journal, but pick is completed past times previous inductees into the International Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame. Awards are presented each twelvemonth during the International Hoof-Care Summit inwards Cincinnati, Ohio.
“I was completely surprised, but absolutely thrilled, to acquire that I had been selected to bring together the distinguished listing of people who guide keep previously been appointed to the International Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame,” Dyson said.
“I intend it is real humbling to recognise that, despite the knowledge that my squad too I guide keep amassed inwards the concluding thirty years, in that place is then much to a greater extent than to learn. From every novel finding come upwardly many to a greater extent than questions. I promise that the enthusiastic dedication of my squad volition move on to upshot inwards learning too discovering more, too inspire others to create likewise, to the ultimate create goodness of the welfare of our groovy friend, the horse.”
Dr Dyson is currently researching the association betwixt hindlimb lameness too saddle slip. She has observed for several years about association betwixt the two, soundless saddle skid has traditionally been attributed to an ill-fitting saddle, asymmetry of the horse’s dorsum variety or a crooked rider.
In 2011 a prospective inquiry projection undertaken at the AHT past times Dr Dyson too Intern Line Greve; ‘Saddle skid may move an indicator of the presence of hindlimb lameness’ presented at the 51st Annual Congress of the British Equine Veterinary Association, Birmingham 2012, identified that inwards about cases, saddle skid was straight linked to the presence of hindlimb lameness.
Research results showed that of 128 horses assessed for lameness marking too flat of saddle skid when ridden past times 2 riders, the saddle consistently slipped to 1 side inwards 54% of the horses amongst hindlimb lameness, inwards comparing to only 4% of the horses amongst forelimb lameness. Diagnostic analgesia to abolish the hindlimb lameness eliminated the saddle skid inwards 97% of the horses observed inwards the study.
