Matthew JacksonGUEST
It will come through it, it will load, and then it will roll through its toe and take off again, okay? In these situations where it's claimed that the, the more elongated toe has made the horse far more comfortable than anything else ever has-

Mark JohnsonGUEST
has-What's actually happening here? Because when the horse comes in, one is assuming, because like I said, I don't have definitive footage of this.

Mark JohnsonGUEST
But if the foot comes in and lands flat, which it's probably going to do, the horse begins to move forward with the opposing limb, and as it's moving forward with the opposing limb, which is in the air, the cannon bone of the weight-bearing limb begins to move forward across the top of the hoof capsule.

Mark JohnsonGUEST
Okay, now in a healthy horse, the, as the stride progresses, the pasterns become engaged.

Mark JohnsonGUEST
The pasterns will uniformly move forwards and above the pedal bone, and they will begin to load at the front aspect of the pedal joint prior to break over.

Mark JohnsonGUEST
Okay? Now, at that point, there is quite a lot of load coming on to that hoof capsule.
