Article Synopsis
- Abnormal hoof shapes in horses, specifically Pura Raza Española, are often linked to limb conformation defects and can impact performance and lameness.
- A study of over 51,000 horses found that a significant percentage exhibited angular hoof defects, with the highest prevalence in splay-footed rear limbs (79.53%).
- The research evaluated these defects' heritability and factors affecting their appearance, providing insights into genetic correlations that could inform future breeding and management strategies.
