Green: End of toe or heel, respectively
Blue: COR= Centre of Rotation (of the digital joint)
Red: breakover

Ideally, distances a and b should be equal , approximately, or a should not exceed b lengthwise. Leverage becomes greater the more distance a exceeds distance b, and the more breakover slides forward (regarding direction of movement) resulting in increased stress on joints, tendons and ligaments. Furthermore, the heels will not be able to support the suspensory apparatus in a good way anymore. In this case, the horse received glue-ons for the first time today. Unfortunately, all of the walls had already been thinned by rasping, so I did not want to thin them out further for now. By trimming only, the heels could not be set back far enough today (not enough wall height, sole thickness and concavity). #horse #hoof #hoofcare #farrier #horseshoe

Grün: Endpunkte Zehe bzw. Trachte
Blau: COR= Centre of Rotation=Drehpunkt des Hufgelenks
Rot: Abrollpunkt Richtung Zehe

Im Idealfall sind die Strecken a und b ungefähr gleich, bzw. die Strecke a sollte keinesfalls größer als b sein. Je größer a im Verhältnis zu b ausfällt, und je weiter der Abrollpunkt nach vorne (in Richtung der Zehe bzw. Bewegung) gerutscht ist, desto größer ist der Hebel, über den ein Pferd fußen muss. Dies kann insbesondere die Sehnen- und Bänderstrukturen (und Gelenke) unnötig belasten. Gleichzeitig befindet sich der Trachtenendpunkt bei solchen Füßen meist auch nicht mehr in einer Position, in der er den Fesseltrageapparat gut unterstützen kann. Im vorliegenden Fall wurde das Pferd heute zum ersten Mal beklebt. Leider waren die Wände bereits recht stark rundum beigeraspelt, weswegen ein weiteres Strecken der Wände aus meiner Sicht zunächst nicht angezeigt ist. Auch konnten die Trachten allein durch Bearbeitung noch nicht ausreichend weit zurückgelegt werden (dünne Sohle, nahezu kein Gewölbe, zu wenig Überstand).

This is a composite open-toe shoe paired with soft DIM cushion which I used for a laminitis case. Correct shaping/finishing of the shoe and correct placement of the shoe & cushion are absolutely crucial with almost no margin for error, and have to be done according to x-rays. Laminitic horses really do suffer, the treatment is costly and takes lots of effort (and there is no guarantee a horse will survive it, btw!), so it is always a good idea to do everything possible to prevent a horse from becoming laminitic! Also keep in mind, what we see in the hooves of laminitic horses are symptoms of either poisoning or metabolic crisis. The hooves are not the cause/origin of this ailment! #hoof #hoofcare #farrier #horseshoe #laminitis #horse #Hufpflege #Huf #Hufrehe #Hufbeschlag

Being nosey, the big Friesian cat 🤪. That guy has a special personality in every respect 😄. He enjoyed today's play session at the end of our hoofcare appointment when his owner offered him the socks she had provided for protecting the test hoof boots.
