I very much appreciate your great work!! But I don't agree with your feedback theory. Instead I assume that by leaving the heels too long, the weight of the horse / the balance in the hoof puts to much pressure in the front of p3 and the hoof, and because of the less (!) pressure at the heels (because of the imbalance in the hoof with more weight in the front/toe) the growth rate in the heels ist higher and the rings there are wider. While in the front region because of the higher pressure from the overproportional weight due to the imbalanced hoof / the high heels, the rings there are tighter... I think that where there ist less (!) weight that the growth rate there ist higher...
Thank you. Thank you for telling us up front your qualifications, and for sharing what you've observed and the connections you've made.
Thank you.
Love this, makes so much sense!
