The service is not just about trimming the foot. It is about the overall management of the horse and conditioning of its hooves. This will make the difference between comfortable feet and high performance feet.

 

Some of the benefits include:

• Corrected balance
• Improved muscle tone and released tension
• Surefootedness
• Continued ‘soundness’
• More efficient circulatory system
• Prevention of  tripping, forging or over-reaching
• Eradication of thrush and white line disease

 

Also in conjunction with veterinary advice you may ease

or eradicate:

• Laminitis
• Navicular disease
• Deformed hoof syndrome
• Recurring abscesses

 

Horses just out of shoes, or those that haven’t done much work on hard ground, will need a transition period to become fully sound without shoes on all surfaces. Doing too much can cause contra-actions, such as foot tenderness, bruising and inflammation.

A happy and healthy horse is reward itself
