Abstract

Potkovica postoji od davnina i kroz povijest je prolazila kroz „evoluciju“, koja se
odvija i danas prema novim saznanjima i spoznajama. Za izradu kvalitetne potkovice
potrebno je poznavanje anatomije i funkcije kopita kao i razlikovanje pravilnog oblika kopita
i pravilnog stava od odstupanja. Takoder je za zadovoljstvo klijenta potrebna dobra suradnja
veterinara i potkivaca. Unatoc postojanju kvalitetnih tvornickih potkovica uvijek ce postojati
potreba za kovanim potkovicama s obzirom da se tako najbolje mogu zadovoljiti individualne
potrebe. Za izradu kovane potkovice potrebno je imati na raspolaganju specifican prostor,
materijal, opremu i alat. Najznacajnije je poznavanje izrade standardne papucaste potkovice
jer iz nje proizlaze svi ostali oblici namjenskih potkovica, odnosno mogu se izraditi raznim
modifikacijama papucaste potkovice. Takoder je izrada u današnje vrijeme olakšana, ubrzana
i ekonomicnija modifikacijama na tvornickim potkovicama. Medutim, ni najbolje izradena
potkovica nece biti adekvatna ako se ne postavi na kopito strucno i odgovorno, odnosno
obrezivanje i korekcija kopita u cilju postizanja balansa su znacajniji od same potkovice.
Osnovna funkcija konvencionalnog potkova je da pruža zaštitu i pojaca trenje kopita s
podlogom. Dijelimo ga na sportski i radni potkov. U današnje vrijeme u svijetu je konjicki
sport tako razvijen da zahtijeva veliki broj potkovica razlicitih velicina, oblika i stilova ovisno
o vrsti sporta, uvjetima terena i željama vlasnika i trenera. Iako vecinom tradicionalni, radni
potkov nalazi primjenu i danas. I ovdje se susrecemo sa nizom modifikacija i dodataka
papucastoj potkovici kako bi se prilagodili uvjetima u kojima konj radi, ali takoder i
zadovoljili, ponekad i nepotrebne, zahtjeve vlasnika. S obzirom na sve navedeno teško je
napraviti generalnu podjelu potkovica ili za odredenu namjenu opisati samo jednu potkovicu.
Izrada i primjena potkovica kompleksna je tematika koja ce uvijek biti otvorena za nove ideje
i nove modele.

Abstract (english)

Horseshoes existed since ancient times and went through evolution during history,
which happens even today according to new knowledge and comprehension. To make quality
horseshoe it is essential to understand anatomy and hoof function, as well as differntiate
normal from abnormal hoof shape and animal stance. For contentment of client it is necessary
to achieve good collaboration between veterinarian and farrier. There are lots of quality keg
shoes, but there will always be a need for handmade shoes, because it is the best way to
satisfy individual need. For forging a horseshoe we need to have adequate space, material,
equipment and tools. The most important is knowledge to make standard flat shoe because
other shoe shapes derive from it. Actually they can be made with different modifications of
flat shoe. In these days fabrication is easier, faster and more economical using modified keg
shoes. Although, even the best handmade shoe won't be any good if not fitted professionally
and responsibly. Hoof trimming and corection in order to achieve balance are more important
than the shoe itself.
Basic function of conventional shoeing is to provide protection and traction. It can be
devided in sport and draft shoeing. In these days equestrian sport is so evolved that it demands
vast number of shoes that differ in sizes, shapes and styles according to sport type, terrain,
owner and trainer wishes. Although, mostly traditional, draft shoeing finds usage even today.
Also, and here we can find a numerous modifications and accessories of flat shoe to adapt
working conditions, but as well to satisfy, sometimes unnecessary, owner demands.
According to previous statements, it is hard to make a general division of shoes or to describe
only one shoe for specific purpose. Making and usage of horseshoes is a complex theme that
will always be opened for new ideas and models.
