More on hoof balance ↓

It can be generally agreed that hoof balance is vital for ensuring soundness and a high level of performance. What then constitutes a balanced foot and how to maintain that ideal is more contentious.

There are substantial advances being made in this field, particularly the recognition of the inter-relationship between the structure and the function of the hoof capsule, the internal architecture of the foot and the bony column of the leg. This web site includes a basic overview of such principles from clinical experience and clinical trials. However it is our intention to use this form to discuss the concept of orthopaedic balance of the entire horse, recognising the inter-relationship between the hoof balance and the function of the horse.
