Foot problems and lameness are a grave concern to horse lovers around the world. Since you’re reading this, you probably have had personal experience with this problem or know someone who has. My research is focused on trying to better understand the biomechanics of the complicated equine hoof and using that knowledge to slow and stop lameness and lameness related injuries.
