Document Summary
Good footing will reduce frequency and severity of injuries while enhancing racetracks performance. Measure properties of surface, computer modeling of horse leg hitting the surface. Way horse is design: efficient at running comes with tradeoffs: distal end of canon bone compressed with p1: nutcracker force from ground at gallop is 2. 4x body weight. Force on canon bone and tendons even more. We can make things worse or better but horse comes with predisposition for injuries. How much does footing contribute to risk and energies. Vs libm anatomy, shoe type, conformation/ hoof shape, training program synthetic the best. 2yrs old less likely to die than 3, 4 yrs. Dirt: loose sand track common in us has most fatalities, turf in middle and collides with the leg and foot slips (distance depends on surface), then high force but no shock (different loading) and then propulsion. First foot hits ground (cid:523)body mass doesn"t matter yet(cid:524) hoigh shock, then body rebound: (cid:498)give(cid:499) of surface.
