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
Figure 5
Radiographic images of the (a–c) left and (d–f) right front hooves of a show jumping pony at 30 weeks of shoeing management. The left front hoof demonstrated an improvement in the hoof-pastern axis after a given period of management (a), while a positive hoof angle was still observed in the right front hoof but displayed a lower degree than before shoeing management (d). Hoof’s balance was also corrected in both front hooves (b, e). A slight irregularity of the navicular bone’s ventral border was still marked in both front hooves (c, f).
