New research investigates how different horseshoes and surfaces influence hoof motion in galloping racehorses
New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) examining the impact of different horseshoes and surfaces on hoof kinematics in galloping racehorses has been published in Animals, a leading veterinary science magazine. The findings from the research could help lower the risk of musculo-skeletal injuries, optimise gait quality and improve performance in galloping racehorses, during both training and racing. -

Bone Scan (Scintigraphy)
Scintigraphy is one of the advanced imaging modalities used in horses. It uses radioactive tracers that allow the identification of changes in bone metabolism before they become visible on radiographs. It is ideally suited to diagnose for example …
