I personally believe that it's important to
have a cofin bone that is paralell to the ground, or nearly
so. That's why I keep the heels quite low. (High heels tip the cofin
bone).
Interestingly, my 12 year old has
coffin bones that are parallel to the ground on his rear feet and my vet wants
him to be shod in egg bars with a lift to tip the coffin bones slightly.
My vet went to a seminar given by someone who had studied the phenomenon and
felt that coffin bones that were parallel to the ground contributed to
arthritis in the hocks.
I'd be interested in the opinions
of others on this.
