Proper farriery promotes a healthy functional foot and biomechanical efficiency and prevents lameness. Because the equine veterinarian is responsible for the soundness of the horse, a working knowledge of farriery becomes essential. A thorough knowledge of traditional horseshoeing enables the veterinarian to interact with the farrier at the farrier's level; this ultimately enhances and promotes quality hoof care. This article focuses on fundamental farriery and recognizing subtle changes in hoof conformation that can be used to preserve the integrity of the hoof capsule, along with the structures enclosed within, and thus prevent lameness in the performance horse.
正确的蹄铁匠技术可促进蹄部健康并具备正常功能，提高生物力学效率，预防跛行。由于马兽医负责马匹的健康状况，因此掌握蹄铁匠技术的实用知识至关重要。深入了解传统马蹄铁安装技术能使兽医与蹄铁匠在同一层面进行交流；这最终会提升并促进蹄部护理质量。本文重点介绍基本的蹄铁匠技术以及识别蹄部形态的细微变化，这些变化可用于维护蹄匣的完整性以及其中所包含的结构，从而预防役用马跛行。
