Ohio State University Veterinary Hospital in Columbus, Ohio was the venue for the first Sound Horse Conference on April 11-12, 2008.  I attended on Friday, but couldn't stay for Saturday(had to get ready for a show on Sunday).  The information and available technologies to eradicate soring were impressive.  Of special interest  - Dr. Haussler's Algometry Study, Dr. Turner's Thermography, Mr. Burke's PainTrace and Dr. Turner's Digital Radiography.  Please take a look at www.soundhorseconference.com
