Interesting info

Do you want to know what the equine world’s biggest WELFARE concern is and has been for decades?

The complete and utter misunderstanding around P3 rotation and pe*******on.

Science has been getting P3 rotation and pe*******on completely back to front all because of bogus research - and equines are losing their lives because of it.

P3 doesn’t sink through the capsule to pe*****te the sole - it never EVER has!

P3 cannot sink or rotate of its own accord… it’s the hoof capsule that has been consistently removed in front of the apex of the frog until P3 becomes exposed.

And it doesn’t take much removal when you’ve rotated P3 by leaving the heels too high.

Horses have been routinely pts for P3 rotation and pe*******on blamed on laminitis - failure of the LAM (lamellar attachment mechanism) - when it wasn’t anything to do with poor P3, it was a hoof capsule problem, caused by…

… the HUMAN!

That is HUGE!

Humans taking far too much toe… too much wall… too much sole… leaving too much heel… rotating P3… exposing P3.

Many owners are beginning to realize this as we teach them how to read X-rays and understand the hoof capsule.

If your hoof care professional is removing toe you’d better stop them!

Your horse is at risk of P3 rotation and pe*******on not because of anything you have done as an owner, but because of the ignorance of your hoof care professional.

The human, their rasp and nippers, and complete misunderstanding of the hoof capsule, is what caused P3 rotation and pe*******on.

If your horse has P3 rotation and pe*******on - YOUR hoof care professional caused it - and your vet doesn’t even know it - they think it’s your fault… and all along it was theirs.

Wake up world. WAKE UP. Respect the horse’s natural constants!
