"Equine Tendon Injuries: Why They Happen, How They're Diagnosed, and How to Optimize Recovery" Presented by Shannon Connard, DVM, PhD, DACVS (LA), Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Department of Clinical Sciences

Tendon injuries are among the most common and frustrating causes of lameness in horses, particularly sport and performance animals. In this webinar, Dr. Shannon Connard will explain why these injuries occur, how they are diagnosed, and what modern imaging can tell us about severity and healing. She will review current treatment options and discuss practical management strategies, rehabilitation timelines, and realistic expectations for return to performance. This session is designed to help horse owners better understand tendon injuries and make informed decisions about their horse's care and long-term soundness.
