Were they hoof casts?<br /><br /> I also thought I saw one horse with Andrew Poynton's sport-model Imprint glue-ons and I thought maybe one of the Italian horses had on 3-D flying saucers. (How do you screw studs into those?) Am I correct?<br /><br />They have posted all the winners Fran Jurgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714349624852287450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346569.post-64052391569051018752009-05-10T14:17:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:17:00.000-04:00Fran,

I went through 189 inspection photos and they virtually all looked that way behind, very consistent at the top level of the sport of eventing. <br /><br />It is considered normal in sport horses; more than 90% of warmbloods have some degree of lateral landing. (And I'd consider these horses, many of which are Irish sporthorses, to be warmblood-type.)<br /><br />Fran Jurgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714349624852287450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346569.post-21608474757329013242009-05-10T09:47:00.000-04:002009-05-10T09:47:00.000-04:00Interesting how the old boy was landing heel first...Interesting how the old boy was landing heel first both front and hind, while the second horse is going to definitely land toe first on that right fore. The handler is going to land heel first....guess that's what's important ;)Both have some torque going on in the hind end as they are landing on the outside first...glad those shoes are going to flex and allow them some concusion relief (Heidi Meyernoreply@blogger.com
