Event Description
2026 marks a significant milestone - the 30 year anniversary of the Muswellbrook Equine Podiatry Centre, first established in the Upper Hunter by Dr. Terry Hicks together with Link (Wayne) Baumann and his wife Chris Baumann. Now known as the Equine Podiatry and Lameness Centre (EPLC), the clinic has remained at the forefront of diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating laminitis and other complex foot-related lameness/injury for over three decades.

We are extremely proud of the strong collaboration between veterinarians and farriers that has developed in the Upper Hunter, driven by the Centre’s commitment to expert care and ongoing education in managing high-risk cases. 

To celebrate this legacy, EPLC will be hosting two cornerstone events, taking place from the 11–14 June 2026:

 1.      EPLC International Heavy Horse Farrier Competition - 11 & 12 June


  • A remier event with a $30,000 prize pool. Highly respected farriers - Geoff Charlwood and Billy Neville will be the judges for the  2 day competition.

  • 10 stations available/ teams of 3 people


2.       EPLC Vet-Farrier Symposium - 13 & 14 June


  • Encompasses a full lecture program and a practical, hands on day with interactive case demonstrations dedicated to laminitis, hoof injury/ reconstruction and rehabilitation.

  • We are honoured to confirm Dr. Scott Morrison, Veterinarian/Podiatrist from Rood & Riddle Podiatry Clinic in Kentucky USA as our keynote speaker for this 2 day event. 

  • The focus is always on continuing our tradition of advancing vet/farrier collaboration
