Honored,
I am a vet student who has just finished the last exam on the veterinary
university in zagreb, croatia, and am starting to make my diploma research
in hoof dimensions. After days spent in the library and on the internet i
failed to find any research in correlations between the horses dimensions
and the dimensions of it's hoof. The only study i found was the correlation
between the horses weight and the length of the toe (3 inches (7.6cm) for
800 to 900 pound horses, 3.25 inches (8.25cm) for 950 to 1,050 pound horses,
and 3.5 inches (8.9cm) for horses weighing 1,150 to 1,250 pounds) but which
is not applyable in terrain conditions. So i was wondering if you might
have/send me any data of that type?
Sincerely

Surely then, you've got a very good subject for research: no-one has done it
so far.
So all you need to do is find some horses and start measuring!
