  No one is allowed to start a foot war......;0)
But....is there a definitive , agreed upon, answer---or research ---and by 
whom---and can I read it----about whether a horses foot should land toe 
first or heel first. I have found some saying heel first---- then others 
saying heel first----arrrggghhhh!!!!!
  Has anyone got any proof whether it SHOULD land one way or another for 
long term soundness--- irregardless of shoes or barefoot?

 Had the same thing about heel height--- some say heels are too low and a 
horse should be given 'more heel', others saying heels too high cause 
lameness.....

  I am beginning to  think no one really knows..... and since no one keeps 
their horses long enough to really find out.....

 And is anyone knows of a discipline  or research that is long term with a 
group of horses that stayed sound  with the feet a certain way, sure would 
like to know....
