Sko har bivirkninger. Nogen gange er de den eneste løsning man kan finde for en periode, men skoning året rundt har store bivirkninger.. Alene det at de ændrer hoven så den ikke længere passer til benet, som her. En hov med et sundt bagparti så og sige. En vinge som opstår af skævt tråd, som opstår af skæv konformation, enten i benet eller noget der kunne have været behandlet i kroppen..
Efter 1 år ser den så nysselig og mere symmetrisk ud.. Men nu understøtter den ikke længere hestens behov. Lige hove på skæve ben er nøjagtigt lige så skadeligt som at lave skæve hove på lige ben..
Efter 2 år er stråle og baller begyndt at atrofere, formindske, forsnævre.
Efter 3 år har hesten ikke længere en fast pude at lande på bagtil.. Tåen er for længst stukket af så overrul og måden hesten er nød til at løfte benene på, bevæge sig på er unaturligt. Heste er levende naturlige væsner. De kan ikke holde til vores mode ideer.. Nu er det en sko hest. En af dem man måske sagde jamen min hest er slet ikke rengående uden sko så den er NØD til at ha dem på... Dette studie er fra 17 eller 1800 tallet og det holder til den dag idag.
Vær klar over bivirkningerne. Søg årsager, ikke kun hurtige løsninger til her og nu. Er der ikke andre muligheder tilbage end sko, så skal der være pauser så hesten kan ... ja, redde sig selv, og holde til det du vil ha den skal bruges til..
😱 Is it true...can shoeing really change horses’ hooves?
The short answer is very definitely YES - every single time.
The long answer is, depending on the horse, the length of time shod and the diet and management regime, depends on just how much change occurs.
Yes - HOW MUCH change occurs - not IF!!
So ALL horses’ hooves are negatively affected by shoes and not just from the outside, the insides too...and not just the hooves either!
This picture is a set of 4 drawings (plates) commissioned by British equine vet Bracy Clark in 1809 in an attempt to exhibit the changes produced by shoeing.
Bracy had made claims that shoeing negatively impacted the lives of horses and he wanted to prove it.
Much to the distaste of many of his fellow peers at the time!
But he went ahead. One of Bracy’s clients agreed to shoe her sound barefoot horse to monitor the changes over a three year period.
The first pic top left is without shoes, the horse’s natural foot, then the following three pics, top right, then bottom left, then bottom right, show the astonishing changes that occurred.😳
To this very day, we are unaware of any other ‘experiment’ which follows so clearly the negative changes that occur during shoeing.
Mainly because Bracy was branded a maverick and thrown out of the new fledgling Veterinary College of London for his opposing views against its then founder Edward Coleman.
The majority of vets and farriers, then and now, tried to forget about Bracy and his groundbreaking work on hooves, shoes and bits.
Nothing much has changed today!
But Bracy’s predictions and findings are now coming true over 200 years later!
The owner of the horse in the drawings, stopped the experiment after three years appalled at what they had found.😢
Would this horse’s feet have gone back to their original shape, the shape the horse clearly needed at the start?
No. But they would improve somewhat and given time become far more functional and healthier, but many of the changes down to shoeing are permanent.
In our own retrospective studies, we have found horse’s hooves to change and widen, particularly at the back of the foot, commencing almost immediately the shoes are removed.
And that happens on EVERY SINGLE HOOF we have ever witnessed going barefoot. And that is A LOT!
So the take home message?
ALL hooves are negatively affected by shoeing, no matter what anyone tells you, all hooves will contract over time.
Here at the mag, we often get treated just like Bracy, branded mavericks, spreading propaganda and making owners feel guilty about shoeing.
Mavericks? Probably...but propaganda and guilt trips? No that’s not us.
We want to help every horse owner whether they shoe or not, to keep their horse barefoot and healthy.
And we do that on a daily basis! You should see our inbox.👍
Barefoot horse owners are not just proving all over the world that their horses can do the same and more that their shod counterparts can do, but are healthier too.
After seeing what shoes can do, understand that for many horses becoming sound barefoot takes TIME.
Be PATIENT. A lot has been happening to those shod hooves!
Get the right kind of advice.
Surround yourself and your horse with the right people and conditions, and be prepared to watch something shocking but amazing develop...watch your horse’s hooves begin to change shape - just as your horse needs!
