As those who know horses are quite aware, there are numerous foot-related problems that affect today’s domestic horses, ponies, donkeys and mules. Owners, farriers and veterinarians are far too often engaged in relentless battles to correct these problems which incur high costs and reduce the usefulness and longevity of equines. The creators of the Cytek Horseshoeing System have taken a comprehensive approach to understanding the problem and designing a solution through:
- Intimate understanding of the anatomy, physiology and biodynamics of the horse.
- Careful study of the healthy, naturally maintained feet of the feral horse. This is nature’s blueprint.
- Inquisitive research into the history of shoesmithing and farriery.
- Practical analysis of the types of hoof pathologies and their causes.
