In this episode, Laura steps forward as a hoof expert and total hoof nerd. We discuss how your horse's hoof is a powerful indicator of their overall well-being. Laura shares her journey of learning to trim so she can help her own horse and the horses at the rescues where she volunteers.

Chronic abscesses, laminitis, thrush, and hoof pain are not normal. But you can help your horse grow a healthy hoof free of these issues!

The episode covers how to assess your horse's hooves and the pros and cons of shoes versus barefoot care. We also touch on the significance of proper trimming, the dangers of contracted heels, and how to ensure your horse’s hooves remain healthy across different seasons.

Tune in to learn how to spot early signs of hoof issues and take proactive steps to keep your horse healthy and happy.
