Equinalysis Competition Winner |
|
Friday, 11 January 2008 |
 Amateur rider Val Janes, from Harefield in Middlesex, was the lucky
winner in a recent national competition with Equinalysis, winning a
video-based performance assessment for her horse Josh. Val also won
Mountain Horse riding gear and a lesson with showjumper Tim Stockdale.
She has owned nine year-old ‘Josh for fun’, for four years; her prize
winning lesson recently appeared in Horse magazine.
Video-based technology provides horse owners with a portfolio of facts
and figures about their horse’s locomotion, and regular assessments
have many uses; for example, if owners are getting differing opinions
from various experts, e.g. their saddler, trainer, vet and physio, the
screening has the potential to identify the root cause of soundness
issues, for example the lower part of a particular limb.
Josh was screened by Equinalysis business partner Russell Guire, based
in Warwickshire. “I would say Josh is sound at present, although he has
been striking holes in his outside right hind splint boot, presumably
with the inside left hind foot,” Val told Russell before Josh’s
screening.
Russell’s report showed that Josh’s right hind limb was more upright,
and that more weight was being placed on the horse’s left hind. The
screening also showed that the lateral side of the hoof was being
loaded first on both feet, with the right hind being more pronounced,
causing a medial, lateral imbalance. “The combination of extra weight
on the left hind and the incorrect hoof placement is probably the cause
of the odd knock to Josh’s right splint boot when ridden,” said Russell
Guire.
Val’s farrier, Jason Brown of Little Keys Forge, agrees that gait
screening is a valuable tool for equine owners and farriers alike. “If
done regularly, it can resolve foot balance issues that are not always
obvious to the farrier from looking at balance in the traditional
manner,” he says. “When I looked at Josh there wasn't a problem with
his balance, so it had to be the horse’s conformation causing the gait
issue. I therefore fitted a lateral extension shoe to try and
straighten up his movement.”
Ten weeks and two sets of remedial farriery on, and Val is impressed.
“The corrective farriery definitely helped,” she says. “Josh used to
strike through his offside rear splint boot repeatedly - but since
Jason did the remedial work, Josh’s boots have been undamaged; I've
been saved the cost of yet another pair of replacement boots. I've
also found him much easier to ride on his right, 'stiff' rein. The
screening has helped us in many ways, and the report will be useful to
refer back to in future.”
Equinalysis screening prices start from £95 plus VAT for an entry
module and include a ‘benchmarking’ or pre-purchase module at £200 plus
VAT.
