I have customers in distance/endurance riding which do a 50 miler with boots no rubbings/problems where found by VET gate checks what so ever!, other examples are 100 milers done with boots or months/weeks of cross countries(thousands of miles) - without problems.
Maybe you should try using an aproved boot fitter who can fit a boot designed for riding = better experience!
Stay away from redesigned sick/desease boots al together!
The Nolan plate method prevents this flexing and bulging of the coranary band.
So why is it they've proved better blood circulation with the plate vs without. ??The compressing of the hoof squashes or constricts the vessels causing damage. Why does this video promote such a thing?
The misconseption is that the Wild horse hoof is used as good barefoot exhamples but fails to mention the hardness of the hoof due to it's arid climate in which it lives.
I'd like to share this w/my shoer ...who doesn't carry a lap top with him lolo, lol, lol. How can I get more information about your product? I have a mare with one hoof that grows no heel ...yep she's barefooted...owned her for 10 years since she was 2. She's had a colt (5 now) who have an unusual foot (same side as momma) but gets by fine so far.
Arne, NIce video, the slight expansion or widening of the hoof at the heel, is easily seen. On some TBs I have gotten off of the track to retrain, this expansion happens even when shod, causing the shoe to act as a "rasp" on the heel area. The heels are actually shorter when the shoe is removed due to this action. It's no wonder that the killer sales were full of TBs that were lame! Thanks for the postings.
@naturhov Just my thoughts here-a shoe raises the frog off of the ground thereby eliminating frog pressure (same thing as peripheral loading). With no frog pressure the foot does not expand and contract upon touchdown and liftoff. (same thing as saying no hoof mechanism). Because the shoe raises the frog from touching the ground, it destroys hoof mechanism-right? Am I missing something?
@chexmygold the idea that the frog causes the hoof mechanism is incredibly incomplete and I don't understand why most study books aren't updated yet. It's true it does aid in it but the problem with the shoe is that it does not allow the hoof capsule to expand nor the heels to torque. If the shod horse works in a soil that gives in, there will be frog and sole pressure, but still no hoof expansion. Loading area is increased so stress on the laminae is decreased but still no hoof mechanism.
@semtech30 I've heard of some TBs that are starting to race barefoot and doing great. If you let the hoof absob part of the impact, the knees will suffer much less. Reason why ppl shoe is that you can't keep a horse barefoot with the same management you give a shod horse. Above all, can't eat lots of carbs. Horses are like people with diabetes type 2. feed more carbs, get weak crumbling nails, race horses need lots of carbs so, very tricky to keep barefoot...

The answer to your question is simple - you´ll find it on this channel.

Ron,
you´re welcome, please supply vids if you have'em with the hoof expansion on shod horses.
May be little of track saying shod horses have hoof mechanism - lol

@naturhov ---look for "final proof 2" on you tube from swedishhoofschool-it shows hoof mechanism when frog is in contact regardless of shoe.

Beliving in experiments done on dead tissue ... your choice!
I prefere doing research on sound living horses.

@chexmygold TB's suffer from slab fractures of the front knees and other concusive damage due to hard galloping at to young of age.
Without shoes there would x10 at the killer sales.
You don't think they know what their doing?
They want to win, make money and win some more.
Impossible without shoe's!

Todays technology provides us with a number of supreme boot alternatives ...
NO need for 18´th century fixed "terror" shooing!
Have a look at "why barefoot" and you may understand why!
