Foot balance - Palmar or plantar angle
Palmar or plantar angle is an important measurement to consider when assessing how your horse is shod.
Foot balance
Caudal support ratio
The Caudal Support % is a measure of how much of the foot is behind the centre of rotation through the coffin joint. In an ideal world we aim for 40% behind (heel structure region) behind this line. A smaller number means that the heels are often crushed and a larger force is being placed on small area.
