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

An Evaluation of Current Preventative Measures Used in Equine Practice to Maintain Distal Forelimb Functionality: A Mini Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Horses are used in a variety of equestrian disciplines predisposing them to musculoskeletal injury or disease including osteoarthritis and tendinopathy. As a result, a number of preventative measures are used within equine medicine and husbandry, ranging

Does a 4–6 Week Shoeing Interval Promote Optimal Foot Balance in the Working Equine?
Animals, 2017 Variation 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/

Association between radiographic equine distal phalanx characteristics and absence, presence and type of horseshoes [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceMost 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]
AnimalsHoof 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.

Strategic palmar trimming before conventional shoeing shows potential for managing underrun heels in horses [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000ResearchBackground Underrun heels are among the most hoof imbalances, causing poor performance in hoses. Several corrective shoeing protocols have been performed, but the outcomes have yet to be consistent.
