As of 3/11/2020: Due to the global situation with COVID-19 , the UC Davis Center for Continuing Professional Education and the Heumphreus Organizing Committee have made the difficult decision to postpone the Heumphreus farrier conference.  Attendees will receive an email with additional information. We hope to reschedule this event in the near future.

The Charles Heumphreus Memorial Lecture is an annual event that has been offered free to farriers and equine veterinarians since 1987.  Known simply as “The Heumphreus,” it is the first endowed lecture at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and has attracted an impressive list of farrier and veterinary speakers over the past 34 years.  The endowment was founded by Dr. Tim O’Brien, UC Davis emeritus faculty radiologist, to honor Charlie’s 18 years of service as the farrier at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. 

This year’s program is a joint effort of the Center for Continuing Professional Education and the 2020 Heumphreus Organizing Committee composed of UC Davis VMTH clinicians, Drs. Emily Berryhill, Larry Galuppo and Mary Beth Whitcomb.
