2026 marks a significant milestone - the 30 year anniversary of the Muswellbrook Equine Podiatry Centre, first established in the Upper Hunter by Dr. Terry Hicks together with Link (Wayne) Baumann and his wife Chris Baumann. Now known as the Equine Podiatry and Lameness Centre (EPLC), the clinic has remained at the forefront of diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating laminitis and other complex foot-related lameness/injury for over three decades.
To celebrate this legacy, EPLC will be hosting two cornerstone events, taking place from the 11–14 June 2026:
1. INTERNATIONAL HEAVY HORSE FARRIER COMPETITION - 11 & 12 June 2026
✴️ A premier event with a $30,000 prize pool. Highly respected farriers - Geoff Charlwood and Billy Neville will be the judges for the 2 day competition.
✴️ 10 stations available/ teams of 3 people
2. VET-FARRIER SYMPOSIUM - 13 & 14 June 2026
✴️ Encompasses a full lecture program and a practical, hands on day with interactive case demonstrations dedicated to laminitis, hoof injury/ reconstruction and rehabilitation.
✴️ We are honoured to confirm Dr. Scott Morrison, Veterinarian/Podiatrist from Rood & Riddle Podiatry Clinic in Kentucky USA as our keynote speaker for this 2 day event.
✴️ The focus is always on continuing our tradition of advancing vet/farrier collaboration
