Motion Equine Centre

Motion Equine Centre MEC’s mission is to provide care, expertise and professionalism in the management of high level equine athletes and their riders.

Our mission is to provide care, expertise and professionalism in the management of high-level equine athletes and their riders. We do this through a team of committed and experienced consultants and assistants who pride themselves on helping you achieve your goals. Through MEC’s Equine Athlete Management (EAM) system, our clinicians thoroughly examine the horse both at rest and in work. During the

examination process, MEC utilises technology to monitor your horse’s health and gait. All data collected is analysed in our cloud-based software. From there, we can monitor any issues and make recommendations to best manage your horse’s long term performance. In addition, MEC provides diagnostic services and therapies to manage a number of musculoskeletal injuries. These services are provided on a referral basis to veterinarians and allied health care professionals.

🔬 The Role of the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon (DDFT) in Laminitis 🐴🔥

There’s been a lot of debate lately about whether the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon (DDFT) plays a role in laminitis progression. Some argue it’s not significant, meaning heel elevation is no longer recommended. ❌

At Motion Equine Centre, we’ve had great success using heel elevation and modifying DDFT tension to encourage rapid hoof growth and improve comfort in laminitic horses. ✅🦶

📸 Here’s an example of a horse with an acute episode of laminitis. This horse had minimal depth under the tip of the pedal bone and widening of the dermal side of the lamellar attachment. Left untreated, this could have led to pedal bone pe*******on through the sole. 😨

✅ What we did:
🔹 Trimmed the back half of the hoof to the plane of the pedal bone (de-rotation) ✂️
🔹 Applied Ultimate wedged heel cuffs on Day 1 of X-rays 📷
🔹 Glued the cuffs in place for 8 weeks ⏳
🔹 The Ultimate provides 16 degrees of heel elevation, reducing DDFT tension and promoting faster healing 🚀

🏇 The result? Improved hoof growth & comfort! 💯
