The overriding priority of the blood supply is to deliver energy to the lamellae interface of the suspensory apparatus of the distal phalanx.

Attachment of surfaces in biological systems requires energy, the source of that energy is glucose.

The epidermal lamellae do not have their own blood supply- they are avascular. They receive glucose from the dermal lamellae.

One foot consumes as much glucose as the equine head.

The glucose hungry lamellae do not rely on insulin to transport glicuse into their cells. There is a different transport mechanism called GLUT-1.

There are a few that that believe that P3 is not suspended in the hoof capsule by the lamellae 🤔

If the lamellae are not the suspension apparatus for P3, what then supports P3 inside the capsule. What is supporting the weight of the horse?

Biological systems requires energy for attachment. If the lamellae are not the suspensory apparatus then why do they need energy?

When the lamellae are starved as in supporting limb laminitis, they fail and the connection simply falls apart and P3 plunges down.
If the lamellae don’t suspend P3, why when the fail in supporting limb laminitis does P3 drop?

What is the function of the lamellae? Why do they have a surface area of around 1 square meter?

What is the function of the secondary lamellae?

Questions for your teachers. 🤔🤔

☀️Farriers, you're the backbone of equine health—and summer doesn’t give you a break. Between blazing barns and hot anvils, the temperature’s not just rough on the horses.
🥵Long hours on your feet under the sun can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and burnout. While you may not be able to follow all of these, try to remember these summertime tips to help keep yourself healthy and hydrated! 💦
