I often see heels being lowered in an effort to drive the hoof back. However, here you can see with proper balance and stimulus the hoof can actually shift back around the center of rotation without decreasing the hoof angle or lowering the heels. Pretty cool!

Thank you Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center and Kimmel Equine Services! I had a wonderful day sharing knowledge of hoof care and learning some valuable techniques from the Masterson Method. Grateful for the opportunity to learn and connect with others passionate about equine wellness!

The ultimate goal is to be barefoot, but it's not always fair to the horse to simply pull the shoes and hope for the best. Some horses need to be gradually weaned off their dependency on shoes. The application of Perfect Hoof Wear provided this horse with caudal stability and support, promoting correct movement. Now that this horse is moving more comfortably, he will begin to build a healthier hoof with stronger structures.

The hoof serves as the horse’s point of contact with the ground, and the biomechanics of this interaction have significant impacts on the horse’s movement.
