We are pleased to invite you to the second Laminitis West Conference on Friday, September 17 and Saturday, September 18, 2010 at the Monterey Convention Center in beautiful Monterey, California. We have invited top experts from around the country who will focus on important topics spanning big-picture updates on pieces of the laminitis puzzle. The topics include metabolic-related problems, translational medicine, stem cells, mechanical considerations in managing chronic laminitis and the dilemmas farriers and veterinarians face every day treating these challenging patients. You will learn, question and interact with all the faculty and guests so the subject matter presented will only be a "slice" of the excitement happening at this cutting-edge seminar. This is the latest information on laminitis coming to the West Coast - diagnostic techniques, prevention, treatment, pain management, case studies and much more - for veterinarians, farriers, owners, caretakers and anyone with a "love of the horse." We recognize that without dedicated owners, trainers and caregivers, many horses suffering from laminitis would never have the benefit of exceptional health care. So, this year, as part of the Laminitis West Seminar, there will be a special "client day program." This is our way of encouraging a better understanding of the disease and the importance of a steadfast partnership amid horse owners, veterinarians, farriers and others, to benefit our equine friends. We believe this relationship between professionals and owners is one of the key ingredients to solving laminitis. We could not bring you this high quality seminar without the bountiful and unwavering support of so many, and especially Mr. and Mrs. John K. Castle - huge thanks! Please take a moment to read further and share the exuberance we feel in knowing that September 17 and 18 will be dates not to miss in Monterey - you will not be disappointed! Thank you for being an essential component of our vision "To Conquer Laminitis!" Cordially, Timothy Eastman, DVM, DACVS, MPVM Director, Laminitis West Conference James A. Orsini, DVM, DACVS Director, IECLDF Nora Grenager, DVM, DACVIM Assistant Director, Laminitis West Conference

He died in 2008 from severe laminitis in both front feet.
