    Hi all
    Just wanted to share with you what i learnt today, my patient who has several horses told me they get corns due to shod feet (horse shoes) due to the hoof is unable to expand when weight bearing causing increased pressure causing corns which are very deep and they cut them out for relief?

    Apparently some horses have flat feet the hoof flatens on weight bearing no good for running apparently?
    Just thought i would share with you found it interesting.

    Jaynes.

    Long before 'biomechanical treatment' as we know it, farriers were sloping the hooves of racehorses to take account of slight bone/joint misalignment. Of course, the idea was to make the neddys run faster, but it does tend to indicate that orthoses do have an effect. In the case of horses, there was a financial gain which was the motivating factor.

    All the best
