**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**

Todays meme is from a study that the Utrecht research group did where they studied limb preferences in foals when grazing.

In that study ~50% of the studied foals (24) developed a preference to systematically protract the same limb when grazing. This was associated with uneven feet (i.e a flatter foot vs. an upright foot) and uneven loading patterns.

Where this preference originates from remains to be confirmed, although laterality maybe a cause especially in foals with relatively long limbs and small heads.

In either case, the findings and biomechanical adaptions highlights the importance of working with the equine team to evaluate any asymmetries and support the horse.

Important to note, that the presence of uneven feet is not always related to grazing posture and could be influenced by pathology, further reinforcing the need to discuss this asymmetry with the equine team.

It’s not your farriers responsibility to train your horses to be both calm and polite for their feet.

You may have heard the expression ‘no hoof, no horse’. If your farrier/podiatrist is spending half the time dodging legs they can’t be blamed for the foot not being perfect.

That’s on us, not the professional that’s coming to do the job.

Saturday was spent at a farrier clinic taking the time out of shoeing horses and making time to keeping up to date with modern farriery.
Learning from fellow farrier professionals on the following subjects-
Jay Tovey- Foot balance vs Trimming what’s the priority
Tom Smith- Understanding cost’s. Your true value, customer perception.
Ian Gajzak- Everyday shoeing- With up to date thinking.
Jim Hayter- Shoeing the Eventer

Most of the content on the clinic was refreshing what has already been learnt in the past, however there is always something to learn from others and I like to keep an open mind.

7 months today Ziggy injured his coronary band/hoof wall. It’s been slow progressive but it’s looking like a positive result.
Team work from the vet and owner has been essential for a good result.
