Thought you knew the latest in keeping your horse healthy from head to toe? Think again! Richard Mansmann, VMD, PhD, from Central Carolina Equine Practice in Chapel Hill, N.C., is using a preventive foot care program that’s designed to detect early and/or prevent foot problems that could limit performance in horses. This program involves at least an annual visit by the veterinarian and farrier, with specific radiographs and measurements taken of the feet. These can not only help determine what is going on in the horse’s feet at the time of the exam–potentially catching emerging problems–but also provide a baseline of normal parameters for that horse should he become unsound in the future
