The Importance of Hoof Care with Karl Cook

Walking & Talking: Keeping your horse's hooves healthy shouldn't be left to chance! Regular trims prevent cracks, chips, and uneven wear, ensuring proper posture and movement. Daily hoof checks and cleaning remove dirt, debris, and moisture that can lead to infections like thrush. Dietary adjustments, in consultation with your vet, can promote strong hoof growth. Be on the lookout for signs of trouble like lameness, heat, swelling, discoloration, or excessive cracking. Prioritizing hoof care through regular appointments and a proactive approach goes a long way in keeping your horse happy and healthy!

At the very least everyone should know how to remove a shoe and/or fix a loose nail.
