Did you know that laminitis and founder aren’t the same thing?

THIS!!! It should not be difficult for your horse to pick up, hold up, and lower their feet.

If they have arthritis, injuries, etc. help them be as comfortable as they can be. Pain management, regular bodywork, low inflammatory diet , regular quality movement.

"People hear you based on where they are, not what you say." - Anon

I shared this quote a couple of weeks ago on my weekly(ish) email and one of my favourite things is when I get a reply - especially a developmental one! They said:

"As we know, this can apply to horses as well as humans and in both directions"

Which is completely true.

Your perception frames how you respond in any given situation -

But equally, your horse's perception frames how they respond to you.

We bring a narrative whenever we are working with horses -

A narrative that the horse isn't aware of.

Which goes on to influence the success of what we are trying to achieve in the moment.

But also shapes their experience of being with us.

And so it rolls on, ad nauseum.

The question is:

What is your narrative?
And is it helping you or hindering you?

Have you ever cleaned out your horse's feet and noticed a firm plug of dirt packed into the sole and frog?

As a barefoot horse moves across different surfaces, dirt, sand, and other natural materials can become packed into the bottom of the hoof. This material can help create a close connection between the hoof and the ground, allowing the horse to better feel and respond to the terrain beneath them. It also creates a temporary protective layer between the ground and the sensitive structures inside the hoof.

A healthy dirt plug can help:
🐴 Provide additional shock absorption with each step
🐴 Support the frog and back of the foot
🐴 Protect the sole from excessive wear
🐴 Improve sensory feedback from the ground
🐴 Help the horse adjust balance and movement on different surfaces
🐴 Contribute to overall comfort, especially on firmer footing

The hoof is designed to deform slightly with every step. As the horse loads the foot, the packed dirt can work alongside the frog, digital cushion, and other structures to help dissipate forces and reduce concussion traveling up the limb. Of course, not all packed material is beneficial. Deeply packed manure, stones, or debris trapped in cracks and crevices should be picked out.

The next time you're picking out your horse's feet, take a moment to observe before digging everything out. Sometimes what looks like a dirty hoof is actually a hoof using its environment exactly as nature intended.
