Long toes only affect the navicular right?

The leg has a series of joints. The metacarpo-phalangeal joint (fetlock), the proximal interphalangeal joint and distal interphalangeal joint (Pastern and coffin). Each one of these joints is a centre of rotation and because of how the digit is not underneath the limb, but in front off, each of these joints is profoundly affected by the distance from its centre of rotation to the point at which the ground acts through the hoof. In the form of the turning force (moment).
An increased turning force must be counteracted by whatever keeps those joints from descending under the load, the tendons AND ligaments.

Hence why long toes affect ALL of the soft tissue structures on the back of the leg. Both tendons and the suspensory!

If you would like this information clarified, explained in simpler terms and would like an introductory lesson in equine digit biomechanics then join myself and The study of the equine hoof on the 3rd Oct at 7pm BST where I will be doing just that.

Early orders for my hammer gloves had started about weeks ago

If you are needing gloves, I just finished up the most recent order, send me a message and contact me through fb messenger fir details.

These are photos from past orders. Not all colors are always available. I have more leather coming from my Tannery and there should be a selection of colors there.

Honestly. Pretty gloves do not stay vibrant in their original color. We're throwing hammers and weights, the gloves get tosses around as well. So eventually they will be what they are, gloves.

For those of you that may not have seen this on my fb page....

Heads Up Folks!

Kevin McCole, competing in Alabama today, set 2 new PRs in the Javelin.

40.55m. And 40.56m.

Kevin is a High School Senior this year. Has thrown 54 ft in Weight and 156 in Hammer. With lots of potential to benefit a collegiate throws program next year.

Congratulations Kevin on making a long trip to the Alabama meet. Get some rest before Tuesday and we will get back on your Weight and Hammer.

We plan on hosting our 2020 Meets, starting as early as possibly May. With 3 to 4 meets in the month of June. June is an important month, giving many post collegiate throwers the opportunity to throw for a mark to Qualify them for the 2020 Olympic Trials.

But after June, the remainder of 2020 we will not be hosting as many meets as we have held in the past.

Post Collegiate Throwers, contact me on possible dates in June you would like to see happen for Pre Olympic Trial meets here.

Text or call. But always easier to reach me via Text or FB Messenger.
