Suspensory injuries are one of the biggest threats to long-term soundness — but how well do we really understand them?

In the latest episode of The Hoofcare Companion, we explore the suspensory ligament and navicular suspensory structures, breaking them down from a farriery first perspective.

🎙️ In this episode you’ll discover:
• How the suspensory ligament actually functions in front and hind limbs
• Why hindlimb suspensory injuries often show up as performance issues, not obvious lameness
• The link between hoof balance, breakover, and chronic suspensory strain
• What altered gait patterns can tell you before a breakdown occurs
• Practical trimming and shoeing principles to reduce load and support rehabilitation

Whether you’re working with sport horses, leisure horses, or managing long-term lameness cases, this episode connects anatomy, biomechanics, and real-world farriery decisions in a way that’s directly applicable at the anvil and on the yard.

👉 Click the link to listen now and sharpen your understanding of one of the most important load-bearing systems in the horse.
