Dr. Kerry Ridgway: High Heel / Low Heel Syndrome explanation

In this bonus footage, Dr. Ridgway discusses "high heel/low heel syndrome" and how it impacts, amongst other things a horse's tendons and ligaments.
Dr. Ridgway spent over an hour observing and discussing this horse so please be aware that this clip covers only a small portion of his findings and recommendations - He also examined another 10 or so horses on film, and you can see some of it in the second clip posted in the PRoudHorse channel.
You can purchase the entire 8 1/2 hour video here: vimeo.com/onde...
This shorter clip is meant as a starting point to help horse owners think about their horses bodies differently: 4 1/2 minutes only begins to cover the concepts of Laterality (crookedness) and High heel/Low heel syndrome, and how they impact the integrity of the horse's structure, his straightness and balance, but it is a start :-)
