Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

A thorough examination and assessment of the equine foot forms an essential part of pre-purchaseand lameness examination. Because foot problems are the most common cause of lameness, theexaminer must have an accurate knowledge of foot anatomy, foot balance, and sources of footpathology, and he/she must be willing to perform a “hands-on” approach to fully delineate abnormal-ities and pre-disposing factors for the development of lameness.
