A strong hoof is the foundation of a sound horse. When it comes to proper hoof care, it’s all about balance.
All horses need regular farrier care, and working with an experienced farrier is one of the best investments you can make in your horse’s soundness.
Maintaining correct hoof balance with regular trimming and shoeing by a qualified farrier prevents overloading structures in the limb and allows the hoof to function optimally.
A collaborative approach between your veterinarian, your equine nutritionist, and your farrier is the best way to optimize your horse’s hoof health.
This podcast will review everything horse owners need to know about proper farrier care for horses. We will also discuss how hoof balance, trimming, and shoeing influence your horse’s health and performance, as well as discuss the recent trend toward barefoot trimming.
