Healthy, strong hooves
The strength of the horse's hoof
(foot) is crucial for horse health, as it bears
the full weight of the limb. Although it may not seem
like it, the horse hoof is not a rigid structure. It is
elastic and flexible and when loaded, the hoof actually
changes its shape. The hoof mechanism ensures
healthy blood circulation into the hoof. The
wall doesn't exfoliate at all – it constantly grows
downward and self-trims by ground contact in wild and
feral horses. Slow changes in hoof shape occur under any
consistent change in the horse's movement pattern.
The natural way
There is a lot that can be done
naturally to keep hooves healthy. It is a good
idea to pick up your horse’s hooves regularly and
inspect them. Check for loose clinches – this is usually
the first sign that a shoe is going to pull.
Watch out for hairline cracks in the hoof
-especially if your horse's hooves has been in water or
mud. Always clean off slough around the coronet, as this
is a sign of dryness and can cause problems down the
road.
