June 13, 2023
Hoof wall thickness and its role in foot function garners many opinions among farriers. It is crucial for farriers to understand this in relation to the horses they work with. In his research, Simon Moore looked at whether a common toe to heel quarter ratio exists in hoof wall thickness.
He examined whether breed, foot shape and sole plane influences this. The Cornwall, England, farrier will share his findings to help attendees gain a better understanding of the hoof capsule.
