RE: [RC] [RC] Confirmation- reply to Tuni - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFLauren - I have just taken my mare through a diagnostic process called EponaTech which is extremely helpful in revealing all hoof and bone anomalies. Not one of my horse's feet were even. The images were sent to me, and 2 farriers. One of which is my regular farrier, one specializes in corrective work. All 4 of us met one day and, long story short, got her feet all squared away. She was uneven for quite awhile so she's now in process of getting used to being square-up. Very interesting process. :) Carrie Kitley 30th Medical Group, Vandenberg AFB DMLSS?Database Sustainment Specialist (DSS) CACI?International Inc? www.caci.com dsn?276-1077, Comm (805) 606-1077 fax dsn?276-1179 <\_~ // \\ carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lauren Horn Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 3:58 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] [RC] Confirmation- reply to Tuni The high heel/low heel syndrome is genetic! Uneven feet are bad feet and this syndrome runs rampant in arabians. I don't believe it is acquired although the split leg eating stance may contribute to the severity. The problem with this syndrome is it runs in degrees from very mild to severe. It is a defect and in many cases horses become unsound (mostly in the low heel foot) although many horses can be managed with good trimming/shoeing and can have successful careers. There are also saddle fit issues with this syndrome. I firmly believe that arabian stallions have no business being a stallion if they have this syndrome. There are too many other stallions that are good and have even feet. Lauren, who stands tall on my soapbox about this pet peeve of mine Try finding arabian with even front feet.....very hard. We need to get back to the basics and start from the feet up. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
