The Knowledge Hub is where you can go a level deeper into lameness, one topic at a time, without feeling overwhelmed. Each article focuses on a specific part of the lameness picture, from what your vet is looking for in a trot up and on the lunge, to why they ask certain questions, how conformation can influence movement and what tests like flexions or hoof testers are trying to tell them.
You will also find practical guides to next steps in a work-up, including why imaging might be suggested. The aim is simple: help you build a clearer mental map of the process, so you can describe what you are seeing in your horse, understand the options being discussed and feel confident asking the right questions at the right time.

Sometimes a horse looks perfectly fine trotting up and down the yard. But put them on a lunge circle? That’s when subtle issues start to show. Lunging is one of the most valuable tools in lameness detection – vets use it routinely because the curve of the circle puts extra demand on the limbs and
