The foot of the horse is a very unique structure that undergoes a tremendous amount of strain and stress. The foot is the foundation of the horse and a structure is only as strong and stable as its foundation. Hence, the old adage “No Foot, No Horse.” The foot is the most common area of forelimb lameness because of the amount of stress to which the equine foot is exposed. Thus it is necessary to have knowledge of the foot, clinical conditions associated with the foot and ways to avoid and treat the more common foot problems.
