Hello everyone,

This is a re-post, however I am I still looking for more participants willing to take part in my dissertation! The more the merrier!

I am a third year degree student at Warwickshire College, studying a BA(Hons) in equine studies. I am currently in the process of collecting data for my dissertation which is on laminitis. I aim to determine the role of therapeutic shoeing through the means of questionnaires. I have designed two questionnaires - one aimed at owners (who have/had experience with laminitis) which asks the participant to state what who diagnosed their horse (e.g. vet, farrier etc.), at what stage of laminitis their horse was when diagnosed and what management practice was advised. I am also conducting a separate questionnaire aimed at veterinary surgeons and registered farriers, asking them to state what managing practice they feel is most effective to relieve pressure and pain for the horse.

If anyone is interested in taking part in this study I will be extremely grateful. Please be aware that only over 18s can complete this survey and it is completely anonymous. Also, no further information will be required once completing the questionnaire. Please click on the link below:

Please note that if you have/had experience with more than one laminitic horse, please fill the questionnaire focusing on each horse as an individual (you may complete the questionnaire several times - if you have/had experience with more than one horse).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. If you are interested in hearing the results please let me know, I will be glad to release my information once I have had the dissertation the marked.

Thank you in advance for your time and support,
Amelia
 
Done - although the question about what stage they were at when they were diagnosed doesn't go on to ask what stage they reached. So in my pony's case, it will look like he was only ever a pre-laminitic when he's actually a chronic case who has had a couple of acute attacks.
