  • Title: Therapeutic farriery: one veterinarian's perspective.
    Author: Parks AH.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2012 Aug; 28(2):333-50. PubMed ID: 22981193.
    Abstract:
    Therapeutic shoeing is best directed at a specific diagnosis, but in the absence of a specific diagnosis, it is frequently directed at a symptom. There are only so many ways to modify the function of the foot with trimming and shoeing. The design of a horse shoe may often be modified to improve one aspect of foot function. Modifying a horse shoe to improve one aspect of foot function almost invariably impacts another aspect of foot function. The application of horse shoes may be based on a specific diagnosis or directed at a symptom. The application of shoeing principles is best approached using theoretical reasoning based on the research data that are available and experience.
