OBJECTIVE To investigate the density of the primary epidermal lamellae (PEL) around the solar circumference of the forefeet of near-term fetal feral and nonferal (ie, domesticated) horses. SAMPLE Left forefeet from near-term Australian feral (n = 14) and domesticated (4) horse fetuses. PROCEDURES Near-term feral horse fetuses were obtained from culled mares within 10 minutes of death; fetuses that had died in utero 2 weeks prior to anticipated birth date and were delivered from live…

The feral horse foot. Part A: observational study of the effect of environment on the morphometrics of the feet of 100 Australian feral horses.
TLDR
The morphology of the feral horse foot appeared to be affected by the distance travelled and by the abrasive qualities and mechanical properties of the substrate under foot.
Pododermal angioarchitecture in the equine hoof wall: A light and scanning electron microscopic study of the wall proper1.
TLDR
The vasculature of the hoof wall displays specific angio-adaptations to high pressure and tensile load, aiming at assessment of specialised vascular structures, e.g. vascular sphincter mechanisms and arteriovenous anastomoses.

Evaluation of changes in architecture of the stratum internum of the hoof wall from fetal, newborn, and yearling horses.
TLDR
Findings indicate that the stratum internum of the inner hoof wall undergoes several morphologic changes shortly after birth, and suggests that PEL growth may also occur by bifurcation as well as by mitosis from the coronet and that wall stress may be associated with increased PEL density.
Density and morphologic features of primary epidermal laminae in the feet of three-year-old racing Quarter Horses.
TLDR
To quantify the density of primary epidermal laminae (PELs) around the solar circumference and evaluate the relationship between regional PEL density and hoof capsule morphology in horses, forefeet from nine 3-year-old Quarter Horse cadavers were collected.
Shape, Orientation and Spacing of the Primary Epidermal Laminae in the Hooves of Neonatal and Adult Horses (Equus caballus)
TLDR
Overall, the foal feet showed greater mediolateral symmetry and less proximodistal variation than did the adult feet, and rapid spatial changes in laminar morphology were closely associated with the position of the margins of the third phalanx.
Qualitative and morphometric radiographic findings in the distal phalanx and digital soft tissues of sound thoroughbred racehorses.
TLDR
Bone at the solar margin of the distal phalanx was uniformly dense and finely trabeculated, without evidence of resorption or fractures, and the margin of both phalanges was smooth in 8 horses.
Morphology of the Laminar Junction in Relation to the Shape of the Hoof Capsule and Distal Phalanx in Adult Horses (Equus caballus)
TLDR
Results appear to indicate a deterioration in structural coherence of the foot in the low-angle group of equine hoof shape, and are interpreted in light of a model of foot mechanical function.
Anatomy and physiology of the inner hoof wall
TLDR
A new calculation of the proliferative index (PI), for basal cells of the coronet and lamellae of the dorsal hoof wall, shows that active basal cell proliferation occurs only in the coronets and proximal lamella, a function of the controlled activation and inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases.
The response of bone, articular cartilage and tendon to exercise in the horse
TLDR
The effect of training exercise on the anatomical or patho‐anatomical features of connective tissue structures is affected by the timing, type and amount of natural or imposed exercise during growth and development which precedes the training.
Contrasting structural morphologies of "good" and "bad" footed horses.
TLDR
A “goodfooted” horse is defined as one that lives well into their 20s or 30s without any chronic foot problems such as navicular syndrome, whereas the “bad-footed’ horse isdefined.
Hoof size, shape, and balance as possible risk factors for catastrophic musculoskeletal injury of Thoroughbred racehorses.
TLDR
Decreasing the difference between toe and heel angles should decrease risk of SAF for Thoroughbred racehorses and should be considered in addition to increasing toe angle alone to help prevent catastrophic injury.
Heritability of foot conformation and its relationship to sports performance in a Dutch Warmblood horse population.
TLDR
The prevalence and heritability of uneven feet and its genetic relationship to other conformation traits as well as to sporting performance later in life in Warmblood riding horses is assessed.
