Re: [RC] blood flow to hoof (was archives and barefoot) - Kristen A. Fisher

Well hopefully you only use a tourniquet to actually *try* and stop blood
flow (when you are already cut).

Physiologically, I don't understand how something on the bottom of the foot,
that doesn't slow/stop blood flow between the heart and the hoof, would have
the same effect as closing the arterial pipes (like a tourniquet, or the
weight of your body). That's all.

If you sit on your foot for too long and it becomes numb (falls asleep) or
if you put a tourniquet on your ankle and your foot becomes numb, will it
still bleed if you cut it?  Does it not become cold?  Why would a horse be
any different than a human?

The note beside the image says "Note the shod foot has virtually no blood
circulation. This is consistant with horses with shoes on."

My horse is shod; if he nicks himself he bleeds, his feet still grow, so
there must be enough blood flow for that. Maybe the other 3 legs are just
*hot*??

Excuse me, but have you ever seen a thermograph of a shod foot and leg as
compared to one without a shoe?  Do check it out!

I DO get damm sickNtired of the folks that say that all shod horses  are
being crippled and 'cant feel their feet'....  Of course you, I,  and
most experienced riders know thats a pile of BS but what about  the new
to horses folks that read this drivel?


Thank you, Teresa.  I've been trying to figure out a way to put that
diplomatically, but I think you said it best by just flat out saying it.

Heidi
