Biomechanical Assessment of the Collateral Ligament of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint of the Horse Following Alterations to the Palmar Angle—A Cadaveric Study [PDF]

Animals
Therapeutic shoeing for horses is used to affect the palmar angle (PA) of the distal phalanx. These changes may influence the strain on the distal interphalangeal joint collateral ligaments (DIJCLs).

Association between radiographic equine distal phalanx characteristics and absence, presence and type of horseshoes [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Most horses are used with horseshoes additionally supported by either dorsoabaxial or dorsal clips. The effects of such clips on bone density and shape of the distal phalanx are currently unclear.

Investigating Associations between Horse Hoof Conformation and Presence of Lameness [PDF]

Animals
Hoof trimming and shoeing determine the horse’s hoof shape and balance. Hoof conformation plays a crucial role in limb biomechanics and can consequently prevent or predispose to injury.

Functional Locomotor Consequences of Uneven Forefeet for Trot Symmetry in Individual Riding Horses [PDF]

, 2015
: Left-right symmetrical distal limb conformation can be an important prerequisite for a successful performance, and it is often hypothesized that asymmetric or uneven feet are important enhancing factors for the development of lameness.

The effect of the z-bar shoeing method on surface dimension of the hoof wall and time required for therapeutic shoeing in three horses with a sheared heel

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2020
Sheared heel is a medial displacement caused by repetitive overloading on the palmar area, traditionally managed with a straight bar shoe. There are no reports of using z-bar shoes in horses with a sheared heel.

Degradation Behavior of Glue-On Three-Dimensional Printed Plastic Horseshoes in Equine Stables

Eng, 2023
Hoof and leg problems in racehorses can cause serious injuries and decrease their value. Although therapeutic shoeing using special horseshoes can increase the effectiveness of veterinary care, it is labor-intensive and burdensome for farriers.
