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.
