Equine veterinarians Rustin Moore, DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl. ACVS, and Jim Belknap, DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl. ACVS, of The Ohio State University were the featured speakers during the inaugural web-based seminar–or "webinar"–presented May 23, 2007, by The Horse.

In a live presentation lasting more than an hour, Moore and Belknap covered various topics related to laminitis, including what happens within the hoof of a laminitic horse, common causes resulting in laminitis, and how horse owners can work with their veterinarians to prevent the disease, or treat laminitis when it occurs. The researchers were also on hand to answer questions following the live presentation.
