Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously not acceptable. We want to develop methods to predict if the horse’s hooves will cope with competition unshod. We also want to study: how performance is affected, if there are seasons and tracks that are unsuitable, what traits hooves have that cope with competition unshod, if there are genes that explain the difference between “good” and “bad” hooves and if wounds attributed to cross-firing are more or less common in horses competing unshod. This project is important not only from a short term animal welfare perspective. If we can allow competition without shoes it may benefit Swedish trotter breeding. If performance is improved breeding may indirectly promote horses with robust hooves.
Att tävla utan skor (barfota) är en viktig fråga för travet. Det finns en uppfattning bland utövare att prestationen kan öka markant men barfotakörning går inte alltid så bra. Orsaker till att det misslyckas kan vara att hästens ”balans” inte fungerar eller att hästen faktisk känner smärta från hoven. Det är förstås oacceptabelt. Vi vill utveckla enkla metoder för att avgöra om en hästs hovar klarar barfotatävling utan risk för ömhet. Vi vill också undersöka: hur prestationen påverkas, om det finns årstider och banor som är olämpliga, vilka egenskaper hovar har som tål barfotakörning, om det finns gener som kan förklara skillnaden mellan ”bra” och ”dåliga” hovar samt om hästar som tävlar barfota ”slår sig” mer eller mindre än de med skor. Det här projektet är viktigt inte bara ur ett kortsiktigt djurskyddsperspektiv. Kan vi låta hästar tävla barfota kan det ge svenskt travhästavel fördel. Om prestationen förbättras kan avelsarbetet indirekt leda till hästar med robusta hovar.
