Keeping horses barefoot is gaining in popularity because of the benefits in hoof health and movement it can provide some horses.

Barefoot hoof trimming is designed to maximize the biomechanical efficiency of hoof function. It is favoured among horse owners who prefer more natural management of their equine companions.

When the barefoot hoof is in contact with the ground, blood flow increases within the hoof because the heel can expand in an unrestricted manner. In contrast, shoes prevent the natural expansion within the hoof capsule that occurs with ground contact.

Horses with barefoot hooves may develop a deeper digital cushion and thicker sole in comparison to those that are shod.

Because of these and other changes in their hooves, concussive energy is more sufficiently dissipated within the hoof rather than being transmitted into soft tissues and bony structures.

Transitioning horses to barefoot takes time. Working in conjunction with a certified trimmer and veterinarian is recommended to facilitate a successful transition.
