Vadå i nivå med sulan
Platt eller?

Det folk inte verkar begripa är att hovbenet trycks ner = strålen då per automatik.o strålen får kontakt.

Det är inte så att hoven är statisk o behöver tryck underifrån. Den får då mottryck. Hästen är tung.

Kanske hade du en hovis som skodde med ej fungerande hovmekanism- Då... behöver den vara i höjd med hovväggen.

Om man inte verkar strålen ngt kanske det kan te sig som strålen är i jämnhöjd. En barfotahäst avlastar ju sulan mer än en skodd- strålen behöver inte ta hela trycket.
Dessutom så trycks trakterna utåt- strålen åker ner ännu mer. Det kan man se på filmerna. Däremot så ska inte hovväggen vara markant högre. Kanske ekonomiverkar man för att detta inte ska ske om man har långa skoperioder. förr sa man 6-8 v o numera 4-6 v.En del skor väldigt sällan.. Grejen är att trakterna då kan börja tyckas ut för mkt eller dras ihop beroende av hur den står- balans/ obalans.

Detta borde inte vara ngt konstigt då så många "köper" att hästens hov inte kan flexa med skor.
det är bara att titta på nötningen på traktarmarna som trakten har gjort efter en period o man är medveten om detta o "lägger ut" skorna just där.

Rolle pratade om baktill mot ballarna. Jag pratar om större delen av strålen.

På min stora häst kan jag se detta fenomen mkt tydligt om jag går bakom.

*gud vilket osammanhängande svammel- sorry*

Jag var inne och läste vad Dr Bowker säger. Jag tycker det är intressant och det är ett resonemang jag kan köpa.

Who is Dr. Robert Bowker?
Robert Bowker VMD PhD is a Professor of Anatomy and Director of the Equine Foot Laboratory at Michigan State Univ. College of Veterinary Medicine. His most important role (to us!) is that of veterinary researcher, and through funding support from the AQHA and Grayson Jockey Club, Bowker has been able to spend the last decade and a half studying the function of the equine foot. Much of his research has been on the microscopic level, and through the dissection and study of literally thousands of cadaver hooves.

Gå gärna i och läs, det är intressant och är resultat av forskning under lång tid.

Hoof wall: The hoof wall is believed to be the primary support structure of the foot, and as a result traditional practices of hoof care have evolved to maintain such a support mechanism. Evidence is accumulating in our laboratory suggesting that the hoof wall is NOT the primary structure of weight bearing and should only have a secondary and/or minor role in support. How the basic growth mechanisms of the hoof are related to the disease laminitis is our major goal.

Frog on the Ground

Bowker's research has shown that the frog must be on the ground. He emphasizes that in order to get the frog resting on the ground, the farrier must gradually lower the heel. When the heel is not on the ground, the foot will start to contract and get smaller, similar to a woman wearing "high heeled" shoes.

According to Bowker, "Once the frog is on the ground, the bars will contribute in supporting weight and much of the load will be supported by the sole."

This load is transmitted to the sole around the frog apex via the dirt that accumulates from the ground. "Dirt should be left in the foot," explains Bowker. In other words, don't clean your horse's feet unless they have been standing in a lot of manure.

Bowker further states that a foot that has a high-cupped or dished-out sole and frog that is not on the ground will not be able to support its weight with the frog and solar surface. This goes back to the analogy mentioned earlier about high heels and a small surface area for weight bearing. This small surface area results in high loads being placed upon the foot and will result in significant stress changes to the foot tissues.

"In a nutshell, what we want when the farrier is finished trimming the equine foot is that when viewing the solar surface of the foot, one-third of the foot will be in front of the apex of the frog, and two-thirds behind it. This creates a short toe and encourages a 'heel first' landing."

Gradually Lower the Heel

Bowker emphasizes that any changes to a horse's feet should be done gradually. He explains that, "If the frog is on the ground, the foot will do what Mother Nature intends it to do. When the frog is on the ground, the heel will be low (not an under run heel)--this is what the farrier should aim for.

"But if the frog is not on the ground, the heel should be lowered gradually over a period of several weeks. This is important, as it will allow the foot to adjust to the changes. Again, this is a matter of common sense: do these adjustments gradually, as opposed to all at once, as the foot will better adapt to these changes."

Bowker explains that a good way to check to see if the frog is touching the ground is to try to insert a thin plastic ruler under the frog at the rear of the foot while the horse is standing on cement or asphalt. He states that, "If the frog is on the ground, you shouldn't be able to slide the ruler under the frog. If you can, it means that the frog is not bearing a lot of weight, which is contrary to what it was designed to do."

Bowker emphasizes, "The farrier should not trim much, if any, of the frog--especially the cushion --the swollen area that is four to five centimeters (one and one-half to two inches) behind the apex of the frog. Farriers tend to remove this by trimming straight back and removing it. This cushion area, as well as the rest of the frog, should not be trimmed."

According to Bowker, "The farrier, when looking at the solar surface of the foot, should not trim and remove much of the frog, as the goal is to trim the foot so that the frog is resting on the ground."

Bowker's observations of the trimming methods used on today's horses are that in most cases you can slide not only a ruler but your fingers and even part of your hand under the frog.

Fast man undrar hur deras tradition ser ut

Samma som strassers- av tyska höga hovar. Har ni sett hästar därifrån?

Det låter ju som det, för om hästen redan står i balans blir det bakvikt om man tar ner trakten mer- vilket INTE leder till en kort tå.
