[RC] FW: [RC] Query #2: why are low heels bad? - Ginny HolsmanSorry, I answered the body of the message without answering the question posed in the subject. The reason low heels are bad is because it throws the entire structural alignment of the hores off-balance, causing stress that can lead to subluxations of the spine, injury, muscle strain, ligament damage, hoof problems, bad temperment from sore muscles, tendons and the difficulty of performing under such conditions. Horse need for their weight to be balanced farther forward on their hooves, closer to center; so that their weight is evenly distributed. Low heels for horses is like a person walking in shoes that normally have a heel, with the heel removed -- off-balance, weight ditributed incorrectly, leading to sore muscles, and increased possibility of injury, under durress.
