Scott E. Morrison, DVM

Scott Morrison grew up riding hunters and jumpers in New York. He attended horseshoeing school at Danny Ward's Eastern School of Farriery and put himself through undergraduate school (at Virginia Tech) and veterinary school (at VA-MD Regional College of Veterinary Medicine) shoeing horses. In 1999, he was hired by Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky., to do ambulatory work with an emphasis in equine podiatry. As the podiatry caseload increased, Rood and Riddle built a podiatry center that is staffed by four veterinarians, two full-time technicians and three full-time farriers. Currently his caseload is 100 percent podiatry. Dr. Morrison has traveled throughout the United States and internationally consulting, lecturing, giving clinics and working on various foot conditions.

The Charles Heumphreus Memorial Lecture, usually held on a Saturday in January, honors the memory of Charles Heumphreus, who was the School of Veterinary Medicine's farrier from 1967 to 1985. The annual lecture addresses lameness of the horse, with special emphasis on foot disorders.

The Charles Heumphreus Memorial Lecture was the first endowed lecture series to be established in the School of Veterinary Medicine. The lecture series is supported by donations to the Charles Heumphreus Memorial Lecture Fund and is directed by Dr. Timothy O’Brien.

The lecture topic and speaker are announced on this site each fall.
