Laminitis Myth Busters series (6) Hufbeintrager: The True Shock Absorber

(Hufbein-Träger / Lamellar suspension apparatus)

A deep dive into Pollitt’s research on the “suspensory apparatus of the distal phalanx.”

Topics:

• Biomechanical load distribution
• Energy absorption and force transfer
• Failure points during laminitis
• Implications for trimming and shoeing
• Why understanding this structure changes everything

This series is essential for:

✔ Farriers

Gain a deep, anatomical and biomechanical understanding that improves trimming, shoeing, and long-term laminitis rehabilitation.

✔ Veterinarians & Vet Students

Sharpen clinical diagnosis, improve radiographic interpretation, and update treatment strategies based on the very latest evidence.

✔ Hoofcare Practitioners & Paraprofessionals

Build confidence in assessment, imaging interpretation, and real-world management.

✔ Horse Owners, Trainers & Riders

Understand what laminitis really is, how it develops, and what early warning signs should never be ignored.

✔ Equine Educators

Use the most accurate research available to teach anatomy, pathology, and hoof care.

If you own, care for, or work with horses, you cannot afford to misunderstand laminitis.
This series gives you the most accurate, scientifically backed information available anywhere.
