	Horse hoof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The horse hoof is the structure surrounding the distal phalanx of the 3rd digit (digit III of the basic pentadactyl limb of vertebrates, evolved into a single weight-bearing digit in equids) of each of the four limbs of Equus species, which is covered by complex soft tissue and keratinised (cornified) structures.
		The horse hoof is not at all a rigid structure.
		Thus, the specialised cornified structures of the hoof are the wall, the sole, the frog and periople.

	Hoof - Definition of Hoof - Horse Encyclopedia
		The hoof is the remnant, after eons of evolution, of the original toes of Eohippus, the primeval horse.
		They may be caused by a puncture of the sole of the hoof, an infected stone bruise to the sole, or a horseshoe nail that entered (or "quicked") the sensitive tissues within the hoof.
		The hoof wall is the outer layer of the foot, made of horny material that encases and protects the sensitive structures within the foot.

	Hoof Rot, Hoof Scald, and Hoof Abscesses
		Hoof diseases in goats are a health problem as well as an economic liability, because a goat that has lost its ability to stand, walk, and forage is not a productive animal.
		Hoof rot occurs on the sole of the hooves and between the wall and the hoof, while hoof scald occurs between the hoof's claws ("toes").
		Hoof abscesses occur when the inner structure of the foot is injured and an infection sets in; the most common causative agent is Fusobacterium necrophorum.

	Hoof Anatomy
		The hoof is layered from the outside in, so the wall of the hoof bears the weight rather than the sole.
		Beneath the hoof wall is the "Hoof Horn" which is attached to the sensitive laminae and attached to the third phalanx, a major bone in the hoof.
		The wall of the hoof grows from the epithelium covering the coronary dermis, which consists of the horn tubules embedded in the intertubular horn that is attached to the coffin bone and hoof cartilage's.

	Hoof Health
		The placement of the pedal bone (also called “P3”) within the hoof capsule, its relationship to the canon bone and to the ground are all important aspects in evaluating a hoof.
		The radiograph of figure 2A shows a hoof whose pedal bone is at a negative angle relative to the ground, which is not a good situation.
		Hoof anatomy and its function (mechanics) can be altered not only by the trimming, but also by a change in moisture content, local variations of the ground (soil mechanics), type of training, developmental problems, gait compensation and aging, among other things.
