[Video] How Effective are Shock Reduction Solutions in Reducing Injury?
Amy Barstow has been investigating the effect of modern shoeing materials on foot-surface impact shock in horses. It is thought that high levels of impact shock and the subsequent high frequency vibrations that occur during foot-surface impact can be related to joint pathology and lameness.
There has been a lot of work to develop riding surfaces that can help improve high levels of impact shock, but how many horses have access to these surfaces? She will share how she investigated impact shock on horses and the results of 3 years’ worth of impact-shock reduction research.
