Horse Dry
Five Steps To Achieve Healthy Hooves For Healthy Horses
Be familiar with your horse’s feet so that you will know if something is wrong by picking up your horse’s feet every day, trimming your horse’s hooves on a regular basis, scheduling regular visits with the farrier, and double-checking to be sure that horseshoes are the correct size and are firmly in place.
The importance of looking after the hooves of your horse is aptly conveyed by the adage “No foot, no horse.” If you neglect the hooves of a horse then it leads to discomfort, pain, disfigurement and even lameness. Hooves can become infected or diseased, without proper care. Be sure you understand what routines you must follow and be sure to have good hoof care products at hand so that you can do everything necessary to care for your horse’s hooves.
Know about your horse’s feet
You would have to do some research work in case you are not conversant with the features and structure of a horse’s foot. General knowledge and background information will help you understand how your horse’s feet should look and will help you determine whether the feet are healthy and normal or if they have abnormal characteristics. The part of the foot known as the “frog” should have the feel of a new rubber eraser. The frog normally looks dry whilst the shedding period lasts. Close attention should be given to the care of the horse’s hooves.
Check the feet of your horse regularly
If you see any stones and/or debris wedged into your horse’s feet you can pick them out yourself. Keeping the hooves free of foreign objects by regular cleaning or picking will enable you to keep an eye on any signs of injuries. This will reduce or even prevent more serious ailments in the future. Debris should be removed from the hooves both before and after exercising the horse to prevent injury and soreness. Use a hoof pick to gently take off any stones, mud and other debris that might have accumulated on the frog. Ensure to closely check the frog for any other signs of bacterial infection that you can detect from a foul smell and secretions.
Trim your horse’s hooves
All horses need to have their hooves trimmed regularly, whether they wear horse shoes or not.
Ensure that the horseshoes are of the right size. For horses that wear horseshoes, it is crucial that the shoes are not loose, since it can cause discomfort and even lameness. Make sure that the nails fasten the shoes securely in place and that no stones or other debris are wedged between the horseshoes and the rim.
You must pay visits in routine to your blacksmith, with the horse of course, for getting the shoes of the horse right
Farriers can give you expert advice regarding many hoof health concerns that you may have. Ensure you visit the same periodically and frequently. The farrier should be regularly visited at four to six week intervals during the summer months and a slightly longer period over the winter months. If your horse is wearing corrective shoes, more frequent visits may be needed.
The hooves of your horse will have an effect on the overall welfare and health of the animal. Hence, you should learn to give time and invest in the right products that can improve the health of its hooves.
