“…Essa distância tem sido amplamente utilizada para avaliação e determinação de prognóstico em casos de laminite e tem sido considerada vantajosa em relação às outras, uma vez que sua medida não é alterada pelo casqueamento corretivo (Kummer et al, 2009;Eustace, 2010). A literatura internacional estabelece que essa distância é menor que 10 (Eustace, 2010) a 11mm (Redden, 1997) em equinos normais.…”

“…These differences potentially infer a more medial landing posture, indicating that some degree of low level lameness was inherent in the study population; a potential inherent career risk of riding school horses [41]. Further to the influence of the loading pattern, mediolateral balance can also be influenced by the individual farrier, with significant differences previously observed between individuals [42]. The current study did not evaluate the influence of individual farriers and therefore this could account for some of the differences found.…”

“…A straight alignment is accepted as ideal and considered optimal for physiological function [11,42]. The shortening of DHWL through trimming of the toe within the current population, accompanied by an increase in both the heel angle and the coronet band at the heels, placed the hoof capsule in a more vertically orientated position.…”

Simple SummaryHoof shape is linked to an increased risk of lameness in the horse and has been shown to adapt to different loading patterns associated with the workload and shoeing interval length. This study investigated how different measurements of the hoof wall and the hoof pastern axis angle changed with work in riding school horses, across a four to six week shoeing/trimming interval. The dorsal hoof wall, and weight bearing and coronary band lengths reduced in size post-shoeing/trimming. This, combined with the increase to the inner and outside hoof wall heights on the digital images despite trimming, suggests that shoeing/trimming increased the vertical orientation of the hoof during the shoeing interval investigated. At the same time, increases in the dorsal hoof wall angle, heel angle, and heel height occurred, promoting a more correct dorsopalmar balance. The changes observed are consistent with the workload of the horses studied. The results suggest that a regular farriery interval of no more than six weeks could prevent excess loading of the structures within the hoof, reducing long term injury risks through cumulative, excessive loading in riding school horses.AbstractVariation in equine hoof conformation between farriery interventions lacks research, despite associations with distal limb injuries. This study aimed to determine linear and angular hoof variations pre- and post-farriery within a four to six week shoeing/trimming interval. Seventeen hoof and distal limb measurements were drawn from lateral and anterior digital photographs from 26 horses pre- and post-farriery. Most lateral view variables changed significantly. Reductions of the dorsal wall, and weight bearing and coronary band lengths resulted in an increased vertical orientation of the hoof. The increased dorsal hoof wall angle, heel angle, and heel height illustrated this further, improving dorsopalmar alignment. Mediolateral measurements of coronary band and weight bearing lengths reduced, whilst medial and lateral wall lengths from the 2D images increased, indicating an increased vertical hoof alignment. Additionally, dorsopalmar balance improved. However, the results demonstrated that a four to six week interval is sufficient for a palmer shift in the centre of pressure, increasing the loading on acutely inclined heels, altering DIP angulation, and increasing the load on susceptible structures (e.g., DDFT). Mediolateral variable asymmetries suit the lateral hoof landing and unrollment pattern of the foot during landing. The results support regular (four to six week) farriery intervals for the optimal prevention of excess loading of palmar limb structures, reducing long-term injury risks through cumulative, excessive loading.
