12.01.2022 Did you know you can download a free copy of the Horse Keeping and Land Management Perpetual Calendar from Horse SA? Each month presents a different aspect to k...eeping horses and managing land. January starts with pasture grass management, June reminds us to observe horse behaviour in situ for better management practices, September prepares us for emergencies, and December highlights which plants could be toxic for your horse.

08.01.2022 You know you've heard it before. The trim appointment rolls around, and an owner looks at the horse's feet and says "they don't LOOK long." Sometimes they sugge...st extending the cycle, or waiting another week or two. The professional is put in the position of explaining our reasoning for why we suggest the cycle length we do. In my opinion, hooves should never "look long." The feet help support the joints, soft tissue, and movement and comfort above the distal limb. Added length can affect each of these things; for example, additional length at the toe affects breakover, adding tension or strain to the deep digital flexor tendon and surrounding soft tissue. When I come to a horse, I watch movement and hoof landings, as well as observe the way the horse wears its hoof and consider the horse's environment to make trimming decisions. To avoid setbacks in comfort and movement and to stay ahead of distortion and pathology, I prefer to make minor changes as needed to keep the hoof in balance. Would you rather your hoofcare provider remove lots of wall length, which can result in soreness and drastic changes to joint balance requiring soft tissue adjustment, or would you prefer a light, considerate trim to balance and keep the horse performing its best? As a professional, our job is to know what to leave on the foot as much as what to remove. We are paid for the knowledge and education we have received to this point, to know what the horse needs to remain comfortable and sound. That might mean a small tweak, or bigger adjustments. Please trust us if we suggest a shorter cycle, even if that means you might not think the horse "looks due." It is better to maintain balance and soundness than to chase pathology.
