Hoof & Leg Care
There are many factors that appear to affect hoof health and the majority of these are related to management; for example, what the horse is fed, hoof care and farriery. There is very little evidence that hoof health is genetic although it has been reported that some horses can inherit weak hooves and that is difficult to change. We can select horses for speed, paces or jumping ability and neglect hoof quality. However, it is possible to improve your horse’s hoof health through good hoof care, farriery and nutritional support.
