Abstract

Razliciti oblici iskorištavanja odredenih kategorija konja u radne svrhe dovode do prekomjernog trošenja rožine kopita. To prekomjerno trošenje se sprjecava potkivanjem konja. Najprimitivniji oblici potkovica su kroz povijest usavršavani s obzirom na oblik i materijal od kojeg su potkovice izradivane. Potkovice se i danas primjeravaju i pribijaju na konjsko kopito toplim i hladnim nacinom potkivanja. Potkovice su razdijeljene u skupinu potkovica prema namjeni za odredenu kategoriju konja, specijalne potkovice, potkovice za ispravljanje odredenih grešaka u hodu te ortopedske potkovice. Materijal za izradu potkovica ukljucuje: sirovo željezo, celik, aluminij, legure odredenih metala i plastiku. Terapijsko potkivanje ukljucuje znanje i vještine korekcije kopita, što je preduvjet za upotrebu potkovica za lijecenje odredenih bolesti kao i ortopedskih potkovica. Suvremeni modeli potkovica za terapijsko potkivanje mogu sadržavati na sebi dodatke i ojacanja same potkovice kako bi upotpunili lijecenje odredenih bolesti lokomotornog sustava konja. Dodatci poput gumenih, kožnih ili silikonskih umetaka izmedu potkovice i kopita takoder se koriste u terapijskom potkivanju.

Abstract (english)

The various forms of exploitation of certain horse categories for labor lead to excessive depletion of the hoof horn. This excessive depletion is prevented by horse shoeing. The first forms of horse shoes had been improving throughout history depending on the form and material of which they were made. The horseshoes are even today adjusted and nailed to horse hooves by hot and cold methods of nailing. Horseshoes are divided into particular categories according to their purpose for a particular category of horses, special horseshoes, horseshoes for correcting of the certain walking irregularities and orthopaedics horseshoes. Horseshoe are made from crude iron, steel, aluminium, alloy of certain metals and plastics. Therapeutic shoeing demanding knowledge and skills in correcting equine hooves which is a precondition for using horseshoes in medical treatment of certain diseases, as well as, orthopedic horseshoes. Contemporary models of horseshoe for therapeutic shoeing may contain accessories and strengthening additions in order to complement treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. Addition such as rubber, leather or silicon inserts between the horseshoe and hoof and also used it therapeutic horseshoeing.
