Bar Shoe: Characterized by a closed (rather than open) heel.

Beat: The number of beats associated with a gait refers to the number of individual footfalls that occur before the sequence repeats. Two feet striking the ground surface simultaneously generate a single beat.

Bilateral Lameness: Altered movement manifesting on both (right and left) sides of the horse.

Biomechanical Lameness: Altered movement(s) made in an attempt to accommodate restricted or exaggerated action of one or more parts of the horse’s anatomy (usually the limbs). Many forms of biomechanical lameness have no inflammatory component and accordingly do not hurt.

Biomechanics: The structure and function of biological systems.

Breakover: The action of the hoof as it pivots over the toe to lift and move the respective limb forward.

Bursa: A synovial sack that facilitates tendon movement over bone via lubrication.
