[Video] The Hind Limb: Why Have We Got It so Wrong?

Consider the form and function of the front and hind feet. How differently do you approach each in your work? 

In this session, Cornwall, England, farrier Simon Moore will share his theoretical and practical applications on how to assess and trim hind feet.

Moore holds that there is very little done to examine the hinds. Most foot balance guidelines tend to be on the front limbs and feet, then generally lumping the hind feet into the same principles. In his opinion, this is incorrect, as the front and hind limb although are linked due to being part of the horse, they function completely different.
