NO FOOT, NO HORSE

Foot Balance: The Key to Soundness and Performance

Gail Williams BA PhD & Martin Deacon FWCI~ farriery consultant to the British Equine Team and BHTA

Studies show that foot imbalance predisposes up to an astonishing 95% of all horses to injury. Common problems attributable to faulty foot balance can include: • bad backs • bruised heels • hoof cracks

• shortened stride/stumbling • arthritis • tendon strain • navicular disease/syndrome • chip fractures

Widely acclaimed by farriers and vets, this book

describes in everyday language how good farriery, paying attention to foot balance and considering the whole horse and its individual conformation and gait, not just the hoof and lower limb, can maintain and even enhance performance and soundness. It explains how to check medio-lateral balance with a simple T-square and how to assess the hoof/pastern axis, what to look for when picking up the foot, and how skilled farriery can give horses with less-than-perfect conformation the very best chance to stay sound.
