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.
Why Gastroscope your horse versus just treating?
Getting a gastroscope done before any treatment is so important. It allows you a chance to know what you are dealing with and also be able to quantify how treatment is going. Glandular ulcers in horses are very common. Also not responding universally to treatment so knowing what you have with before treatment is vitally important.
