The Hoofcare Companion – The Equine Carpus

In this episode of The Hoofcare Companion, we explore the anatomy and function of the equine carpus (knee). You'll learn about the bones, joints and supporting soft tissues that make up the carpus, how it contributes to shock absorption and locomotion, and why it is one of the most commonly injured regions of the equine forelimb.

Designed for farriery apprentices, qualified farriers, veterinary surgeons, equine veterinary nurses, equine science students and horse owners, this episode explains complex anatomy in a clear and structured format.

To support inclusive learning, each episode includes learning outcomes, a readable companion article, and five retrieval questions to reinforce understanding, making it suitable for a wide range of learners, including those with SEND.

If you enjoy this episode, please follow The Hoofcare Companion and share it with colleagues, fellow students and other equine professionals.
