A very important photo comparing 2 digital cushions. One bad one good.

Both were Standardbreds, both feet were forefeet. Similar ages, both paddock pets.

What makes a good cushion? Its size and its composition, its elasticity and its resilience to loading. It protects the inner foot from damaging concussion forces at every foot fall and we can see nicely it is an important support for the bony column. Its important for blood movement inside the foot

Note how the bones are slumped in the top photo and how much straighter they are in the bottom photo?

If I moved the bones to a better, straighter position, I’d have to move the DDFT and skin and I don’t think I’d get the stretch!

I often this the slumped P2 in radiographs and it’s very commonly associated with a poor, crushed, low volume digital cushion that has lost its vital fibrocartilage

This leads to broken back bony column.

I am loading a video onto my Patreon page showing the digital cushion and its weakness.

Details in comments.

Please reach out if you’d like to get in before the holidays! Spots are limited as many are using those benefits before the year wraps up!

Thank-you to everyone for an amazing year, looking forward to seeing you all in 2026! 🐾🐴👣🩵

Worth the read 💯
A topic I think every horse owner should at least be familiar with and this covers all the bases!

Bodyworkers, you have to stop telling clients their horse has vertebrae “out”.

Out where? Out of joint? (Very unlikely to be the case and if so - call your vet because dislocations are no joke) Out to lunch? Out of this world? Where did this vertebrate go?

A chiropractor restores motion to joints that have lost some of their normal range of motion. Nothing is “put back in place”. Motion is induced to the area of interest based on the motion it has lost and the anatomy involved.

Owners, there’s a very strong chance that if you haven’t had your animal treated in several months (let alone years) there will be multiple areas restricted that would benefit from being addressed. No need to be surprised or feel it is an emergency when it’s being brought up to you. You can book maintenance chiropractic appointments just like you do with other forms of bodywork.

One of my favourite takeaways from chiro school (and it doesn’t even relate to just chiropractic care!)

Communication is key! 🔑
I find I have the best success with patients, human or animal (owners) if we are able to discuss I.C.E.
