Bio-Tensegrity and Farriery
Written by Yogi Sharp
In this article on bio-tensegrity, Yogi Sharp explores the origin of the word, its uses and relevance in relationship to and between the hoof and the rest of the horse’s body.
Understanding how a tensegrity model reacts to stimulus helps to uncover how the horses’ fascia and other internal structures respond to stress. If you apply stress to one of these models you can see how the model distorts all over. They often will not break at the point of highest compression, the stress is dispersed over the whole structure and it concentrates, or breaks, at its weakest point. If you stretch the model everything stretches and again it will break at its weakest point.
