Fun With Physics And Horses - #010 The Horse's Advocate Podcast

Physics is a collection of laws that control how things work in our universe. They have no allegiance to a country, religion or even if you are a plant, animal or mineral. Instead, physics is the rule book by which we all play. How the laws of physics apply to our horses had intrigued me since about 1978 when I noticed that scientists were looking at how these laws made our horses lame. It hooked me. Long toe and low heels are a combination of physics that does harm to tendons and hooves. My favorite law is force = mass times acceleration (F=ma, and the reason overweight horses break down). Both of these are at the root of most lamenesses in horses. Come along and learn how understanding some physics will help keep your horses healthy. ********** TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a website to learn about horses, horse barns and farms.
