Just because you have the correct angles, does that mean you have a balanced hoof?

Hoof balance is not simply about geometric proportions, its morphological changes are a picture of its functionality and changes to the capsule as a whole are often overlooked when simple angles and symmetry are dictating the ideal. There are different levels of "Hoof balance" and correct function is one of them. After all, form follows function.

The example below shows a hoof that was made to have the correct angles with prosthetics on the left. The same foot after restored function AND correct angles on the right!

If our interventions are not affecting genuine hoof capsule change then we need to re-assess.
In a recent conference talk I discussed recognising the ideal hoof in terms of both form and function, and how this is restricted at times in both the shod and barefoot setting!!

The recording is now available for everyone to enjoy..

Our Story

I provide hoof care for horses, donkeys, mules, and hinnies. My passion is keeping animals sound and comfortable to the best of my abilities. I find hoof care to be the most rewarding and intriguing. I love to watch animals move, so it really made sense for me to get into the bio-mechanics and locomotion of equines. I graduated from Post University with a Bachelors of science in equine studies and a in depth concentration in hoof trimming. I am also a graduate of Mission Farrier school where we focused on the horse and finding their best center, encouraging their best movement, comfort and soundness.
