Horse touching down

What would you do to stop a race horse from touching down on the back feet when going fast. I was told the best solution is to put a larger size on the back. Would using a three degree shoes be better?

no, you're dealing with a groom's issue, wraps with run down patches, and again Vet problem.

WTF do you mean ,"touching down " , never heard of that term but there again i have very little experience with racehorses

its called running down

Someone correct me if I get this wrong...

"Running down" when the horse's pastern comes in contact with the running surface potentially causing injury. Usually is addressed by applying bandages/wraps to protect the limbs.

Ran it bye the Brother he is the T/B man
he shoes a horse with this and he said he gives the horse a 2 size bigger

shoe with a 3degree.
i asked him does it work he said the horse has won 1/2 a million so far

Thanks very much will see what happens when the horse runs in the race on Sunday. Hopefully she will win the race.

I would think that a wedge would cause the fetlock to drop further ???
