Along with another 12 Farrier's I was lucky enough to be involved with the 'Widest Part of the Foot' study on two wild Przewalski horses at Denver Zoo. This involved them being tranquilised and worked on quickly all four feet at the same time whilst they're down. We put markers on all feet and took radiographs so we could add the data to our on going study. It involved a lot of team work from the vets, zoo staff and all farrier's to make it as stress free for the animals as possible.

Here are some pictures below including a Kudu (Deer) that was recovering from a foot abscess that needed to be looked at.
