Question Title

* 2. In UK farriery, the term hunter style best describes?

Peripheral outline fit.

A shoeing style suitable for an 8-week cycle.

A shoeing style that is type specific.

Question Title

* 3. Shoeing techniques are said to manipulate the centre of pressure trajectory, can this?

Reduce mechanical strain at the point of breakover.

Decrease strain on soft tissue structures within the foot.

Both of the above.

Question Title

* 4. The basis of a good shoeing plan is?

To minimise unintended consequences of applied force on the normal physiological anatomy of the foot.

To maximise mechanical efficiency by providing additional grip.

To mirror the outline shape of the bearing border of the hoof wall.

Question Title

* 5. Careful consideration needs to be given to the selection of materials, method of attachment and the position of the shoe, should the shoe material selected be?

As broad and lightweight as possible.

As narrow a gauge as possible.

Always provide maximum wear.

Always provide additional traction.

Question Title

* 6. Dorsopalmar placement of the shoe is considered to be of vital importance in the prevention of foot- and lower limb-related pathologies, should the shoe be positioned to be?

Placed with the widest part of the foot located in the middle of the shoe.

Placed with the widest part of the shoe located adjacent to Duckett’s dot.

Placed with a dorsopalmar bias ratio of 60/40.

Question Title

* 7. The stated aims of a therapeutic shoeing plan are to?

Always use leverage reduction techniques.

Follow a veterinary prescription.

Reduce the effect of adverse biomechanical forces acting on an injured structure by reducing acute pain and inflammation thus optimising repair of an injured tendon or ligaments.

Question Title

* 8. It has become common practice in prescriptive and therapeutic farriery to manipulate poor dorsopalmar foot conformation by elevating the heels, research has demonstrated that heel elevation?

Offers a mechanical advantage, reducing tension on the DDFT.

Reduce pressure on the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint.

Increase pressure on the heel area.

All of the above.

Question Title

* 9. The major components of the stance phase based on the direction and duration of force are?

Deceleration.

Stabilisation.

Acceleration.

Question Title

* 10. The effects of different types of modified horseshoe are often surface dependent, the types of asymmetric shoe styles prescribed for common foot pathologies are most effective when?

Followed by extended periods of stall confinement.

Used in conjunction with light walking exercise on tarmac surfaces.

Commonly work exercised on an artificial surface.

When selection is based on the predominant surface within the horses working environment.
