Pain in the neck - which equine cervical spinal issues can cause poor performance? With Dr Anne Ehrle
The cervical spine plays an integral role in the biomechanics of equine locomotion. There are various pathological conditions that can affect the region of the neck in the horse. Not all radiographic findings are related with clinical problems for the horse. The aim of the webinar is therefore to give an overview on the pathological conditions that can occur and interpret them in light of the clinical picture.
For all attendees, CPD certificates are available, as well as a “view only” recording of the session with a 30-day access pass. There will also be a Q&A session, with ample opportunity to post questions via our interactive Q&A panel.

Following graduation in 2010 Anna completed a clinical internship at the equine hospital, Freie Universität Berlin before she moved to North Devon, UK to work in mixed and equine practice. After she finished her residency in equine surgery at Leahurst equine hospital, University of Liverpool in 2017, she moved back to Berlin to take a position as an equine surgeon with a keen interest in equine orthopaedics and sports medicine. Anna became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Surgeon in 2018 and a Diplomate of the European College of Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in 2021. Her current research is mainly focussed on disorders of the equine thoracolumbar spine, as well as structure and innervation of equine tendons and ligaments.
