Regular shoeing and trimming

REGULAR SHOEING AND TRIMMING

Schedule your farrier on a regular basis—try to get him or her to trim or shoe your horse every five or six weeks. You don’t want shoes falling off or hoof cracks getting bigger and bigger. If your horse has lameness issues, a good farrier will be able to forge therapeutic shoes for him. These are special shoes that may help your horse stay sounder.
