Panelists: Drs. Julie Engiles, Sara Langsam, Kyla Ortved, and Sue Stover
Career-ending skeletal Injuries can be prevented with knowledge of how injuries develop, the horse’s clinical history and signs, and imaging options for early injury detection, enabling racehorse and performance horse rehabilitation.
Join Drs. Julie Engiles, Sara Langsam, Kyla Ortved, and Sue Stover for a discussion of the events that weaken skeletal structures, causing bones to fracture acutely under otherwise ‘normal’ training and racing circumstances. They will share early pathological changes and how common lesions can be detected using accessible imaging modalities such as radiographs, ultrasound, CT, MRI, scintigraphy, and PET.

Sue Stover, DVM, DACVS, PhD
Dr. Stover is the Racetrack Safety Committee Chair for the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA). She earned her veterinary degree at Washington State University and her PhD at the University of California Davis. She is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. Her major research focuses are the biomechanics and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in equine athletes and treatment of orthopedic disorders in domestic and non-domestic animals. Her key contributions include discovery and detection of lesions that predispose to catastrophic injuries in racehorses and elucidation of factors that contribute to injury development in sport horses. Current research efforts are focused on understanding how training and injury affect bone adaptation or propensity for bone fracture and the effects of arena surface materials and shoes on hoof and fetlock biomechanics and thus propensity for injury in athletes.
Sara Langsam
Dr. Langsam is apartner at South Florida-headquartered Teigland, Franklin and Brokken DVMs, Inc.(TFB Equine), and manager of its Belmont Park division. She joined TFB Equinein 2003 and became a partner in 2009 and, in 2012, expanded the practice toprovide year-round services for its clients at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. I
Kyla Ortved
Dr. Ortved is an associate professor of large animal surgery and the Jacques Jenny Endowed Term Chair in Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Ortved received her veterinary degree from the University of Guelph and is board certified in veterinary surgery and veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation. Her research focuses on establishing regenerative therapies to improve musculoskeletal healing using the horse as a model for human disease. Dr. Ortved has co-anchored the Kester News Hour at the AAEP Annual Convention since 2022.
Julie Engiles
Dr. Engiles is a board-certified veterinary pathologist and professor of pathology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, where she provides autopsy and biopsy services for the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System and teaching hospital. Dr. Engiles also provides research-related services that support clinical and translational large animal models. Her research expertise includes equine pathology and orthopedic pathology, including equine laminitis. Dr. Engiles received her veterinary degree from PennVet and has served on faculty at New Bolton Center since 2007.
