J.C., P.D., H.C., L.B. and D.H. and are now registered farriers. T.P. and R.W. are the owners of EquiGait, a provider of gait analysis products and services. This does not alter our adherence to all polices on sharing data and materials. The funders had no role in the design of the study or the collection, analyses and interpretation of data.
