Hoof Stand

When looking at horses' feet it's typically understood the hoof is quite hard. It's not generally understood that in spite of the hardness the hoof can change shape and drift. The worst cases of hoof drift is when the feet become wet such as during winter conditions, the horse standing in water for long periods of time.

The foot/hoof becomes soaked by water and softens. While in this state the hoof wall can become pliable and if a horse is standing on a sloped spot as his favorite spot to stand the hoof can get very out of line with where it needs to be.

Every horse's foot will have a particular spot on the ground surface of it's foot where a wear pattern will show. This is called the "Break over point". It's at this point we decide if the foot is in or out of balance. If too much foot is to one side or the other of this break over "Point" the foot is out of balance. Unfortunately the results of such a foot condition can be disastrous resulting in permanently lame horses. Proper care and prevention is of the utmost importance.

Once the out of balance condition presents itself the correction can be a long process requiring much skill and knowledge to overcome. Unfortunately this knowledge and skill is not being taught in the Farrier schools or textbooks and consequently Farriers are putting into practice improper techniques that quite honestly RUIN HORSES. It's really not the Farriers fault rather it's a fault of improper education. The industry itself (schools and textbooks) just has not caught up with the deep understanding necessary to address these particular hoof conditions, or real correct shoeing practice.

This is where the problem gets serious as what is currently taught in the schools and textbooks actually compounds the problems.

If the horse owner is serious about keeping his or her horse sound and protected from permanent lameness there really becomes a quest for the truth about shoeing.

Fortunately this information is available. Simply go to the web address below in the author bio. If you really want to keep your horse sound this method not taught in the schools or textbooks has a 16 year 100% track record- Not one single lame horse.

Hoof $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A hoof is the tip of a toe of an ungulate mammal, strengthened by a thick horny (keratin) covering. The hoof consists of a hard or rubbery sole, and a hard wall formed by a thick nail rolled around the tip of the toe. The weight of the animal is normally borne by both the sole and the edge of the hoof wall. Hooves grow continuously, and are constantly worn down by use. Hoof is the plural is either hooves, or hoofs. Most eventoed ungulates (such as sheep, goats, deer, cattle, bison and pigs) have two main hooves on each foot, together called a cloven hoof. Most of these clovenhoofed animals also have two smaller hoofs called dewclaws a little further up the leg these are not normally used for walking, but in some species with larger dewclaws (such as deer and pigs) they may touch the ground when running or jumping, or if the ground is soft. Other clovenhoofed animals (such as giraffes and pronghorns) have no dew claws. In some socalled clovenhoofed animals such as camels, there are no hooves proper the toe is softer, and the hoof itself is reduced to little more than a nail.

Cloven Hoof $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A cloven hoof is a hoof split into two toes. This is found on members within the mammalian order Artiodactyla. Examples of mammals that possess this type of hoof are pigs, deer and sheep. The two digits of cloven hoofed animals are homologous to the third and fourth fingers of the hand. They are called claws and are named for their relative location on the foot: the outer, or lateral, claw and the inner, or medial claw. The space between the two claws is called the interdigital cleft; the area of skin is called the interdigital skin. The hard outer covering of the hoof is called the hoof wall, or horn. It is a hard surface, similar to the human fingernail.
