How often should my horse’s hooves be trimmed?
Many horses benefit from a 4–6 week cycle — sometimes shorter — depending on workload, environment, and individual growth patterns.
What signs mean my horse’s feet need attention sooner?
Cracks, flares, odor, tenderness, or subtle gait changes may signal it’s time to reassess — even if you’re “on schedule.”
Should I pick my horse’s hooves every day?
Daily hoof picking allows you to catch debris, thrush, stones, and early changes before they escalate.
Do all horses need shoes? Can all horses go barefoot?
Some horses thrive barefoot. Others need shoes for protection, traction, or therapeutic support. The answer depends on the job and the horse.
