The science of the equine foot is like the hoof itself expanding and contracting, getting shaped and trimmed. Find out what researchers are learning about the biomechanics of the barefoot hoof.
Find out how your horse can hurt his neck, risks for injury and disease, and associated therapies, so you can give your horse the best chance for a strong neck and an athletic future.
To better understand the piaffe and its effects on a horse’s biomechanics, researchers investigate the ground reaction forces of elite dressage horses performing the movement over pressure plates.
