Don’t let the hoof deceive your eye.

Hooves distort under load—even in very well-footed horses. For this reason, it is essential to compare the bony landmarks projected onto the sole with the position of the hoof capsule. This comparison is a valuable tool in preventing visual misinterpretation.

Remember that every hoof is unique and has individual needs. The primary goal of trimming and/or shoeing is to maintain the hoof capsule in proper alignment with the bony column in a three-dimensional manner.

It is also important to recognize that hooves and bones are not symmetrical. Most biological systems are based on helical architecture, a concept I will explore further at a later time.

Trimming and maintaining appropriate support for the bony column are critical to the health of both the hoof and the entire horse. Poor positioning of the hoof capsule can significantly alter a horse’s stance and locomotion. The objective is not to forcefully “correct” conformational issues, but rather to avoid exacerbating them through improper trimming. Shoe placement is equally important and must follow the underlying bony landmarks.

Beyond the Brain - Blog by Monique Craig

Pinky: G-day, what are we doing today?
The Brain: The same thing we try to do every night Pinky, try to take over the world.

The theme song continues for these two characters — one is a genius and the other is insane.
In my eyes, this cartoon’s theme song admirably epitomizes the dichotomy between the genius aspect of our brain and our delusional obsession with it.

Trimming to the bony landmarks which are projected onto the sole is an effective way to evaluate hoof orientation relative to the bony column. It also guides proper shoe placement to ensure adequate support for the bony column. Shoe placement should never extend beyond the existing shape of the coronary band. The goal is to avoid trimming to distortions, and gradually mitigate them.


The hoof capsule can deform under load, and the sole often absorbs the greatest shearing forces. This is why it is essential to evaluate the hoof’s orientation in relation to the bony column. Properly orienting the base of support is crucial for maintaining alignment and ensuring the hoof remains positioned directly beneath the bony column.
