The equine brain is a remarkable organ weighing around 0.6 kg. or 0.1% of the horse's body weight. Despite its relatively small size, the brain is highly capable of processing information and adapting to new situations.

Horses exhibit strong abilities in four cognitive areas:

1. Memory: Horses have excellent 'photographic-like' memory, capable of remembering experiences, people, and places for extended periods.

2. Social Intelligence: Horses are adept at reading body language and emotions, both of other horses and humans.

3. Problem-solving: Horses can learn through trial and error and are particularly good at solving problems related to safety and finding food.

4. Learning: Horses learn quickly through repetition and rewards, associating actions with outcomes.

By understanding the unique aspects of equine cognition and brain function, we can work in harmony with the horse's natural learning abilities.

The absolute IMPORTANCE of having well behaved and TRAINED horses that willingly accept hoof care- it can be the matter of life and death for us hoof care practitioners.

A much as we LOVE a gorgeous finish; we aim for practicality, functionality, and comfort over all else.

We do many things intentionally, that may not seem โ€œidealโ€ or picture perfect- but ask us and we will have a good reason as to why!

Once upon a time, I finished feet like you see in the top picture. Itโ€™s the icing on the cake and makes it look like a clean, tidy, professional job. Some may not care but in the sport horse world, aesthetics tend to matter to some.

My problem with this finish is that itโ€™s void of vital information.

The photo on the bottom makes me feel like I didnโ€™t do a good enough job with the finish. It feels incomplete and sloppy to me.

BUT, what you see in this photo provides critical information.

This horse was otherwise sound and competing. There were no major complaints or lameness. However, the hoof quality started to change a bit when it had been really solid for 6 months and the ever so slight but there growth rings are there. Which, had I buffed that all away, we never would have seen the warning signs.

I was able to share with my client the value of why I finish a foot the way I do now and advise the person to look into the diet and possible bloodwork based on hoof wall quality and those event lines.

Long story short, the news was shared with me that bloodwork was done on a hunch and the horse has a high insulin level.

This is EXACTLY why I donโ€™t dress the hooves. We likely saved this horse from suffering a full blown laminitic episode.

And she isnโ€™t the first one that the hoof was telling us there was an underlying issue when everything else seemed โ€œfineโ€. My clients have been able to make adjustments to diet or check bloodwork on several other horses when things like this appear.

In the sport performance world (for all horses), this is one small change that can make a world of difference.

I will live with my job looking a little less tidy or professional because I know the value of this information and just how much we can help the horse sooner.

be sure to do complete tack evaluations before legging up this spring!
your horseโ€™s โ€œwinter bodyโ€ will likely not be the same as their summer/ fall body.

Remember that as they become more legged up and in shape their body will be continually changing!

BE MINDFUL OF TACK FIT !
