Evaluation of architectural changes along the proximal to distal regions of the dorsal laminar interface in the equine hoof.

Objective: To describe architectural changes along the dorsal laminar interface of the equine foot.

Sample Population: 6 macroscopically normal forefeet obtained from 6 equine cadavers.

Procedure: Histologic sections of 8 evenly spaced, proximal to distal, samples of the dorsal laminar interface were photographed, digitized, and examined for differences in architecture.
