Natural balance trimming and shoeing: its theory and application

Gene D Ovnicek et al. Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 2003 Aug.

Abstract

The principles and techniques of natural balance trimming and shoeing are designed to optimize the efficiency and function of the foot. The basic guidelines have evolved in part from wild horse hoof imprint studies done in 1986 through 1987 and first presented in 1995. Further research has contributed to these principles and guidelines to make them applicable to domestic horses.
