Caudal Failure in the Hoof – Connor & Ashley Sloman of Equiterra Farrier Services
When the back of the hoof begins to break down, it can have significant effects on your horse’s comfort, biomechanics, and long-term performance. In this in-depth webinar, Connor and Ashley Sloman explore the complex topic of caudal failure, including underrun heels, collapsed heels, long toe/low heel patterns, and Negative Palmar/Plantar Angles (NPA).
This session offers a deeper understanding of how hoof balance influences the entire horse, while helping participants recognize early warning signs and better understand the factors contributing to these patterns.
