This is an article I wrote back in 2013 for a national publication on Equine Hooves, "The Horse's Hoof". I thought since we've been talking...
Although farriery overtly deals with the structures of the hoof capsule, a farrier may be involved with soft tissue injuries of the limb at any stage — from identification through rehabilitation. The term “soft tissue” technically includes any tissue that is not bone or horn: nerve, blood vessels, skin, subcutis, muscle, tendon, ligament, joint capsule, bursa, cartilage or fat.
- Why does a hoof deform? - What happens during hoof treatment and why? - What exactly does laminitis mean? - How do I get rid of the horn ga? The subject of hooves is associated with numerous questions for many horse owners. Clarifying them can be life-decisive for the horse: Knowing about the horse's hoof is animal welfare. This manual describes in detail and in a clearly understandable way the functions and shape of the hoof as well as the influences acting on it. Hooves can thus be better assessed and communication with blacksmiths, farriers and veterinarians is facilitated. The processes in the hoof are explained in their interplay with the muscles and tendons of the horse's leg. Knowledge of these interrelationships trains awareness of the effects of conformation, posture, riding and lunging on the hoof and musculoskeletal system. Kati Jurth counters dogmas and short-lived trends about the horse's hoof with an objective and scientifically oriented view. Thus, the question of shoeing or barefoot is not decided according to a certain school, but on the basis of the current needs of the individual horse and, if necessary, in close consultation with veterinarians. Last but not least, this book awakens enthusiasm for the miracle work that is the hoof - anyone who has read it will see horses and their movements with different eyes!.

The Hindleg The hindleg, together with the frontleg, forms the appendicular skeleton of the horse. Unlike the front leg, the hindleg is directly attached to the spine via the pelvis. This ideal design maximizes the hindlegs' power to move the body forward. However, this direct attachment puts the spine at risk of concussion which is why proper hindleg construction is a MUST. Any concussion that does not get absorbed by the hindleg gets directly transmitted to the spine. It is for this reason that the hindleg has many angles instead of it being straight, like the frontleg. The Pelvis The pelvis is a circular structure constructed by the fusion of 6 bones (3 on each side of the body). These bones are the: 1. Ilium (haunch bone) - this bone joins onto the spine at the sacrum forming the iliosacral joint. 2. Ischium (seat bone) – this bone forms the point of hip and buttock. 3. Pubis By early adulthood these 6 bones are fused together forming one solid structure. The strong muscles of the hindquarters attach to several projections of the pelvis. The longer the pelvic bones, the longer and more powerful the muscles. The Femur and Tibia The femur is the longest bone in the horse's body. Together with the pelvis it forms the hip joint. It forms part the stifle joint where it joins with the tibia. The stifle joint is similar to the knee joint in the human with the patella as a kneecap. In most horses the fibula is almost completely fused onto the tibia. The hock (Tarsus) This structure is made up of 6 bones of which two are fused together. These bones are aligned in 3 rows. The largest tarsal bone is called the calcaneus and corresponds to the human heel. This bone gives rise to the point of hock. At the point of the hock tendons of the gastrocnemius, biceps femoris and portions of the superficial digital flexor attach. The lower leg Anatomy of the lower leg is the same as in the front leg. However, there are some minor differences in terms of tendons/ligaments and angles of the joints. Tendons and Ligaments In the hindleg there are only two extensor tendons: the long digital extensor tendon and the lateral digital extensor tendon. The suspensory ligament, superficial digital flexor tendon, deep digital flexor tendon and inferior check ligament are all found in the hindleg in the exact same locations, however, they originate from different muscles. The SDF tendon has no superior check ligament in the hindleg. The tendon and ligament of the hindleg is not injured as often as those of the frontleg. This is because the hindlegs, usually, carry less weight than the frontlegs and are constructed to better absorb concussion.
