Dutch term or phrase:doorslaan
Vertaling van een website van een bedrijf dat hoefijzers produceert. Volledige zin is als volgt: Een perfecte afwerking wordt bereikt met een nauwkeurig nagelgat correcte nagelhoek en de juiste nagelhoek. Met **** behoort het doorslaan tot het verleden. Alvast bedankt!
I know someone who has had horses for a long time, will try and contact her to find out whether 'doorslaan' means what we think it means. Thank you all very much for your time and effort!
To be honest, this is not what I expected, but this interpretation of 'doorslaan' fits perfectly in with the way they make these holes for the nails: you can no longer hammer the nails through the hard tissue into the soft tissue. The nails can only go in the right direction, will only pass through hard tissue
I mean by 'the way they make these holes': Een perfecte afwerking wordt bereikt met een nauwkeurig nagelgat, correcte nagelhoek en de juiste nagelhoek
I can follow what you are saying there, Dave. What we need to know in order to be sure this line of thought is correct, is that 'doorslaan' is a word used to indicate that the nail took the wrong direction that is, passed from hard tissue into soft tissue
On reflection Katja, I think you're probably looking for "misdriven nails become a thing of the past" or something similar. "doorslaan" would therefore literally mean "hammering through" (the hoof)" resulting in "quicking". Doorslaan doesn't appear to be a hoof injury as such, but it can be the cause.
uses a shoe that is too small, or has not fitted the shoe to the shape of the horse's hoof. Occasionally, manufacturing defects in nails or shoes may also cause a misdriven nail that quicks a horse.
Shoeing mistakes Mistakes are sometimes made by even a skilled farrier, especially if the horse does not stand still. This may sometimes result in a nail coming too close to the sensitive part of the hoof (putting pressure on it), or a nail that is driven slightly into the sensitive hoof, called "quicking" or nail pricking. This occurs when a nail penetrates the wall and hits the sensitive internal structures of the foot. Quicking results in bleeding and pain and the horse may show signs of lameness or may become lame in following days. Whenever it happens, the farrier must remove the offending nail. Usually a horse that is quicked will react immediately, though some cases where the nail is close to sensitive structures may not cause immediate problems. These mistakes are made occasionally by anyone who shoes horses, and in most cases is not an indication that the farrier is unskilled. It happens most commonly when horses move around while being shod, but also may occur if the hoof wall is particularly thin (common in Thoroughbreds), or if the hoof wall is brittle or damaged. It may also occur with an inexperienced or unskilled horseshoer who misdrives a nail,
I've read everyones input with interest. As Dave was saying context is everything but sadly the sentence above is all there is. I think Bert is right in saying 'quicking' is the phenomenon intended. The wikipedia page on horseshoe contains the following paragraph.
I think Bert could be right. I assumed that "doorslaan" referred to the punching of holes and it does, but perhaps not in the horseshoe, but in the horse's hoof. As I mentioned earlier, if the nails don't enter at the correct angle, it can cause the horse severe pain - "quicking". I suppose we could compare it to cutting a finger nail to the quick - how painful is that? I apologise if I've misled, but it seemed so obvious at the time - as usual, context is everything.
Historically, holes have never been drilled in horseshoes. Holes have always been "punched" using a pointed tool and a hammer. It sounds like the asker's client has devised a drilling method for making these holes at the correct nailing angle which is why "hole punching is a thing of the past". The holes in a horseshoe are always angled so that the nails are guided to the outer edge of the hoof to avoid what farriers call "quicking" - damaging the horses nerve endings in the hoof causing lameness.
als eerste aanzet is deze link misschien nuttig ik denk dat je bij doorslaan een niet volledig voorgevormd gat hebt en nog materiaal eruit moet slaan, een soort ponsen
Explanation: I'm pretty sure this is the technique used for making holes in a horseshoe. These holes have always been made when the shoe is hot with a pointed tapered "punch".
