Episode 3 - The use of Radiography to assess foot balance

Описание: In this episode of The Hoofcare Companion, we dive into the critical role of radiography in assessing equine foot balance. Traditionally, farriers and veterinarians relied on visual and tactile assessment to guide trimming and shoeing, but modern diagnostic imaging has transformed hoof care.


Join host Marc Jerram as we explore how radiographs provide deeper insights into hoof alignment, pastern axis, palmar angles, sole depth, and mediolateral balance. We discuss how these measurements influence farriery decisions, the collaboration between vets and farriers, and how radiographic assessment can improve both preventative and therapeutic hoof care.


Whether you’re a farrier, veterinarian, or equine professional, this episode offers practical knowledge and case-based insights that can enhance your understanding of hoof balance and improve the welfare and performance of the horses in your care.
