The 30th Annual Charles Heumphreus Memorial Lecture will take place Jan. 23, 2016, at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM). This year’s event features farrier Grant Moon, CJF, AWCF, and orthopedics specialist Sue Dyson, MA, Vet MB, PhD, DEO, FRCVS.

Farriers and veterinarians are invited to attend the event, which will take place from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Morning lectures will be in Gladys Valley Hall, Room 1020, and the afternoon forging demonstration will be in the Large Animal Clinic’s covered arena. More information about the event, including the schedule and registration information, can be found at the event website.

Over the years, the Heumphreus Lecture has served as an opportunity for farriers and veterinarians to share insights and collaborate on industry best practices. The annual lecture—the first endowed lecture series established at the SVM—honors the memory of Charles Heumphreus, the school’s farrier from 1967 to 1985. The program was initiated to foster the farrier-veterinarian relationship in order to develop a better understanding of equine foot disorders. Each year, the lecture is arranged by clinicians of the UC Davis veterinary hospital. Faculty member Mary Beth Whitcomb, DVM, is the chair of the 2016 event, assisted by Eric Davis, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS, ACVIM; Karl Jandrey, DVM, MAS, Dipl. ACVECC; Claudia Sonder, DVM; David Wilson, MRCVS, and current hospital farrier Bill Merfy, CJF.

“We are fortunate that the prestige of the Heumphreus Lecture is able to attract such notable speakers as Mr. Moon and Dr. Dyson,” said Whitcomb
