Another simple way to assess the hoof capsule/P3 alignment. These three points in the frog should align with these three points on the peripheral edge of the sole. If there is deviation, this can take time to realign.

A simple sling- a beautiful drawing from the book “The horse- its treatment in health and disease- 1909”

Tinted by L Field

I love this drawing for its simplicity in showing mechanics, pulleys, slings, weight, gravity, centre of balance. Get one of those pullies/ropes in the wrong place and the horse will tip up on his nose!. Or his nose will hit the ceiling.

This is how I see the workings of the inner foot, the pulley, ropes, springs, pistons, gravity, ground reaction force weight of the horse.

Some springs are super strong with little stretch (Deep digital flexor tendon)

Some springs have super stretch and bounce back- suspensory ligament and Superficial digital flexor tendon.

The pulley being the navicular bone ensuring smooth movement of the DDFT under the joint, plus to ensure its constant angle of insertion into the coffin bone.

The ropes- the ligaments.

The anchor point at the wall- the hoof wall.

There is so much…. And I’ve just touched the very basics…..

From Wild to Watchful: Integrating BLM Donkeys (Burros) for Sheep Ranch Protection

https://www.sheepusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SGRJ_V39_12-19_Scasta_7-24.pdf

Conclusion
The integration of donkeys can vary depending on the individual donkey, but it is significantly influenced by factors such as pasture size and conditions. A realistic timeline for integration typically falls within the range of 4-6 weeks. The presence of other equids and cattle nearby may initially hinder the acclimation and integration process with sheep. Future work also needs to address the efficacy against specific predator species including larger carnivores (such as mountain lions, wolves, and bears) which have been noted to prey on donkeys
