Horse Owners, Professional Trimmers, Vets, Farriers, Body Workers and all those who are seriously interested in the horses hoof are invited to attend our clinics by Prof. Robert Bowker.
Professor
Bowker has changed the way we will view the hoof forever and bought
hoof care into the 21st century. With Dr. Bowker those in attendance
will be exposed to the latest research into the natural hoof and how it
relates to serious hoof conditions. He will lead you through a journey
into the anatomy of the hoof, much of which is now only being
understood, and explain it functions as they relate to total equine
health.
Dr. Bowker, has compiled a new
picture of equine foot physiology. This ideal suggests vascular systems
in horse hooves function in much the same way that air or gel filled
running shoes do. "Moving liquids are the best way to dissipate energy.
That is why some of the major running shoe manufacturers market
products that contain liquid in their soles."
Bowker's hypotheses suggests a negative pressure is
actually created by the outward movement of the hoof cartilage. This
movement creates a vacuum action that sucks blood from beneath the
coffin bone into the rear portion of the hoof. "As the blood moves to
the rear of the hoof, it dissipates the energy caused by its impact on
the ground, much like fluid-filled running shoes do," he said. So the
next time you go running in your gel Nike's imagine your running shoes
are the shock absorbing mechanism in your horse's hoof!
