However, quantification of external foot conformation requires more comprehensive assessments to capture the shape of the entire foot. Volumetric measurements of the hoof capsule represent a summary measure quantifying foot shape. The aim of this study was to develop a method for computation of virtual foot models from digital foot images allowing precise and accurate volumetric measurements. This photogrammetric technique was then assessed for the characterization of foot volume changes associated with foot trimming. Using the technique, three different photographers imaged feet from 18 cadavers at different time points and one analyst processed their images to generate virtual computer models. Volumetric measurements were obtained from these models to determine their precision in the context of ‘Photographer’, ‘Time’ and the effect of ‘Trimming’. Computed tomographic (CT) imaging was used to assess the accuracy of the photogrammetric method. Pre-trim photogrammetric measurements showed excellent precision and accuracy and the results did not depend on the person acquiring the images. The accuracy of post-trim photogrammetric measurements deteriorated in comparison with the average differences measured by CT imaging (19 cm3). Precise volumetric measurements were obtained using the photogrammetric method, but average differences in foot volume after trimming as measured by CT imaging are likely too small to be detected with confidence.}, number={3}, journal={VETERINARY JOURNAL}, author={Labens, R. and Redding, W.

In this study, the records of 11 adult horses whose behavior for farriery initially warranted sedation for trimming and shoeing were reviewed. All 11 horses had a history of chronic lameness that was mild to moderate, but foot pain was the presenting complaint in only seven horses - all with chronic laminitis. The other four horses had abnormal foot conformation (long-toe, low-heel, or “club foot), but the lameness had not been attributed to the foot. All 11 horses showed improvement in gait with corrective trimming and shoeing. In each case, sedation for farriery could be discontinued after one to six visits, concurrent with the improvements in gait and foot pathology. On the basis of the survey results from 17 professional farriers, an ethogram of farriery-related undesirable horse behavior was developed.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF EQUINE VETERINARY SCIENCE}, author={Mansmann, Richard A. and Currie, M.

Seventy seven client-owned horses were studied, 67 shod riding horses retrospectively and 10 barefoot broodmares prospectively. The 10 mares were evaluated twice, and 24 of the 67 riding horses were re-evaluated at the next shoeing, for a total of 111 observations. Each horse underwent gluteal palpation and lateral radiographs of both hind feet. Toe length was quantified as breakover distance (BD), the horizontal distance between the tip of the third phalanx and the dorsalmost point at which the wall/shoe was in contact with the ground. The BD was then shortened with trimming +/− shoeing to a length of ≤15mm (shod horses) or ≤20 mm (barefoot horses). The 24 riding horses were re-evaluated 4-6 weeks later and the 10 broodmares 1 week after trimming. The results showed that of the 67 riding horses, 75% were positive for gluteal pain at initial evaluation. The mean BD for the positive and negative horses was 24.2 ± 1.3 mm and 18.8 ± 2.0 mm, respectively (p = 0.04). At the next shoeing, the mean BD was 10.9 ± 2.3 mm and gluteal pain was improved in all 24 horses; 20 horses (83%) were negative and 4 horses (17%) were now only mildly positive. The 10 broodmares were all positive for gluteal pain initially. The mean BD before and after trimming was 23.7 ± 1.2 mm and 10.9 ± 1.1 mm, respectively. One week later, gluteal pain was improved in all 10 mares; 8 mares (80%) were negative, and the other 2 mares (20%) were only mildly positive. The conclusion is that excessive toe length in the hind feet may be accompanied by pain in the gluteal region and, in our experience, may be associated with gait or performance problems. Shortening the toe can alleviate this pain within days or weeks. Aiming for a BD of between 0 and 20 mm probably is appropriate for the average-size horse.}, number={12}, journal={JOURNAL OF EQUINE VETERINARY SCIENCE}, author={Mansmann, Richard A. and James, Sarah and Blikslager, Anthony T. and Orde, Kurt}, year={2010}, month={Dec}, pages={720–726} }

We hypothesized that travel would affect the equine cecal microbiota. Cecally-cannulated horses (n = 6) were randomly assigned to one of two groups, travel (n = 3) and control (n = 3). Horses received a basal diet (Strategy, Purina Animal Nutrition) with 1.2% body weight mixed grass/alfalfa. Travel horses were transported to an unfamiliar location, stalled to simulate weekend horse show conditions, and then returned to the Southern Illinois University Equine Center. Control horses remained at the equine center for the entire study. Cecal fluid was collected on a 6-hour rotating schedule, four times daily throughout the 6-day study. Data were analyzed using mixed models in SAS with P < .05. Cecal bacterial DNA was extracted, followed by 16S RNA sequencing and then analyzed using QIIME 1.8.0. Averages of sequence data were reported by phase (baseline, transportation, post-travel). Although there were no effects of travel associated with β-diversity (P > .05), analysis of α-diversity measures indicated an effect within the travel group during the transportation phase as compared with baseline (P < .05). Interestingly, α-diversity was also affected for control horses in the return phase when compared to baseline. This may be due to the disruption of the return of the travel group. In addition, we identified multiple taxa affected by travel at both the genus and phylum level. Continued profiling of equine gastrointestinal microbiota is necessary to improve our understanding of equine microbial dysbiosis.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Equine Veterinary Science}, author={Mansmann, R.
