Back to Basics Natural Hoof Care

Area C indicates where the heel should be growing and how it would meet with the top.

Area B demonstrates where the hoof wall is growing from the corenet down and where it needs to grow down to the ground.

Area A shows where the heel and toe were growing at first trim. The heel was too long and so underslung under the foot, with the toe flaring out.

Other times we need to fix more in depth problems such as White Line Disease (Seedy Toe), Navicular and Founder, whatever the pathology, the end result is always the same with the natural trim. Well balanced hooves, working toward a natural toe angle, healthy frogs and digital cushions, which equals healthy sound horses!
