I don't quite understand the what you are providing with this video? It seems of no value except to steer others to your website to buy your product. The video almost suggests that shoes do not allow proper frog pressure due to the presentation. However,t you show hard surface and shoe and sand and no shoe. Please explain exactly what conclusion you intended vs what conclusion it seems to suggest
WOW! Is RIGHT! That was absolutely, fabulously AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for supplying me with one more piece of the puzzel to increase my understanding of this most amazing of God's creations.
I don't understand your comment. Please stay serious. Of course the laws of physics apply to the hoof.
Dr. Bowker has shown that the pressure in the digital cushion in negative during the weight bearing face and that proves that hoof mechanism/widening of the hoof capsule is not cause by a push but by a pull. That pull is created when the coffin bone is pressing the sole down around the frog. When doing this the hoof capsule widens mostly at the top as a matter of fact.
im not convinced that over- expansion of the hoof capsule is NOT possible...some contact or bottoming has to take place somewhere in the hoof or bone structure........and the fully exanded hoof could shatter or become deformed,,,,,,its one of those thing id have to SEE . thanks for vidieo and the enlightenment!
@buddymacs You must have misunderstood me. What I'm trying to say is that over expansion does not happen because it stops when the frog and/or ground fills the concave shape of the bottom of the hoof. Hoof mechanism is created when the coffin bone is pressing down the sole around the frog and stops when it can not push it down any more. This also means that if there is no frog to push the sole down around there will be no hoof mechanism.
Based on your theory then... even a hoofboot is poor design without a frog//sole pressure pad inside of it? A flat bottom boot does not allow much sole/frog pressure. ? i guess a boot is better than nothing?
@buddymacs You are absolutely right. Boots with hard sole are just like riding on hard surfaces and that does not give a good hoof mechanism. Hard soled boots must absolutely have soft pads inside. The problem with pads is that we have to decide how thick and of what density.

how about showing the effect of OVER EXPANSION ? add the weight of rider and tack into the example? can over-expansion be possible? a shoe could prevent that.....
@buddymacs I have tried to "overload" to "over expand" but nothing happens. Hoof mechanism is created when the coffin bone is pressing down the sole around the frog and when the sole has taken the shape of the bottom of the coffin bone and the frog is filling up that concavity nothing more happens.
However, if the frog is of poor shape and quality and the hoof is peripherally loaded (standing on the hoof wall) the coffin bone presses/deforms/stretches the sole causing the coffin bone to take permanent lower position in the hoof capsule compared to the whiteline than it is supposed to have.
@chf921 Jag var inte alls ute efter att jämföra "skodd och barfota" utan bara "med och utan naturligt stråltryck". Skon låser inte alls hoven som många tror (det kan ses i en av mina andra videor) utan bara lyfter och hindrar hoven från att sjunka ner vilket i sin tur leder till minskat stråltryck och därmed minskad hovmekanism.
@chf921 asked me to compare shoed and barefoot on the same footings and I answered that I wasn't comparing "shoed and barefoot" just "without and with natural frog pressure".

so the hoof becomes a closed hydraulic system? the blood fluid is not compressible as in the laws of hydraulics....your turn

@buddymacs You really think you are heavy LOL In that case a mare in foal would also break down. Not so. :)

Ok jag tror absolut på era teorier men ni måste ju visa med samma underlag om man ska se skillnaden.

@SwedishHoofSchool
I just wanted to translate these two comments:
@chf921 asked me to compare shoed and barefoot on the same footings and I answered that I wasn't comparing "shoed and barefoot" just "without and with natural frog pressure".
