Z-Bar Shoeing Demonstrates Potential for Long-Term Foot Pain Management during an Exercise Training Regimen in a Show Jumping Pony with Uniaxial Palmar Pain

<div>Radiographic images of the (a–c) left and (d–f) right front hooves of a show jumping pony. Both front hooves demonstrated a positive hoof angle, denoted by the angle between red lines at the ventral aspect of the coffin bone and ground contact surface (a, d), with a greater degree in the right front hoof (d). The left front hoof also showed a negative hoof-pastern axis (a). The hoof wall height between the medial and lateral sides of each hoof was equal, indicating no shear heels were observed in both front hooves (b, e). A slight irregularity of the navicular bone’s ventral border was concomitantly detected in both front hooves (c, f).</div>
