Understanding the relationship between what’s above the distal limb is important for farriers to recognize. In this lecture, equine chiropractor Dr. Patricia Bona will discuss an important aspect of equine chiropractic care: the basics of evaluating posture and how to evaluate the difference between posture and conformation (as too many confuse the two).
She will discuss how scar tissue and old injuries are often the cause of poor posture and irregular biomechanics — not to forget hoof care and balance. Mutton withers, ewe neck and a tight throat latch are not signs of poor conformation, but they are signs of poor posture.
