that makes sense, now that you say that. do you agree with the folks who think the horses should train in opposite directions from day to day? i don't see what it would hurt.

I did that on the track as much as possible.
With the crosscountry kids also. During the same workout.

Hope you can get back into your routine.

I know someone has put an impulse pad down
to ascertain the force applied at all points on
a hoof through the duration of the hoof strike.

It has to have been done. Its easy.
Cornell, ATM or some school with large
animal research has got to have this info.

Europe... Horses that run the other way.
I wonder what the % is there.

Geek overload.
Excuse please.

Quarter cracks are practically non-existant in Europe. I believe the reason that they are so common here is because of the sandy surfaces here. Because of the sandy surfaces here, the horses' feet get all dried out and are prone to cracking.

In addition, the surfaces are much firmer over here.

You need to do a little research on euro racing and you will be able to answer it yourself.
