Understanding the geometry of shoeing the hind end - Cornell Vet Equine Seminar Series, March 2021

[@danam2637]

I would like to know... my barefoot horse is built uphill and bears too much weight on the rear = sore back. Can I just shoe her back feet to raise up the hind end?

That's why you don't make the hand feet shorter. That doesn't keep them on the ground longer. You get the front feet shorter so they are breaking over and getting out of the way guy. You sound like you might be done. Cornell needs me to take your place.
