No hoof, no horse.
The health of your horse’s feet affects far more than just the hoof itself. Proper hoof balance and routine farrier care are essential for supporting joints, tendons, ligaments, and overall soundness.
Common signs of hoof-related issues can include:
• Shortened stride or changes in movement
• Frequent stumbling
• Sensitivity on hard ground
• Cracks, abscesses, or changes in hoof shape
• Performance changes or intermittent lameness
Regular farrier visits and early evaluation of any changes can help prevent small problems from becoming larger ones. Collaboration between your veterinarian and farrier allows for a more complete understanding of your horse’s needs and can be especially valuable when managing lameness, conformational issues, or therapeutic shoeing cases.
