Winter can be tough on horse hooves. Wet conditions, ice and snow can lead to frozen or cracked hooves if not properly cared for. Make sure to have a farrier check your horse’s hooves regularly throughout the winter months!
🐎 Prevent Ice Build-up: After turning your horse out, check for ice or snow packed into the hooves.
🐎Hoof Care: Apply a protective hoof oil or balm to help keep hooves moisturized.
🐎Diet: Ensure your horse has a balanced diet that supports hoof health.
