“The important thing is that we adopt a flexible approach. You don’t say that either all horses must be shod, or all horses must be barefoot. It’s going to depend on individual horses and how their particular feet adapt, and whether or not they’ve got any other underlying problems.”
The condition of a horse’s hooves is inseparable from their overall state of wellbeing. Join The Train with Trust Project for a live conversation and Q&A with Dr. Sue Dyson on the health and management of equine feet. Dr. Dyson answers the question, "What should a healthy hoof look like?" and discusses the current research on barefoot trimming vs. shoeing, how to look for a good farrier, the latest developments in boot/shoe technology, the crucial role of communication between vets and farriers, and more.
The Train With Trust Project (TwTP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to making equine behavior education accessible while promoting the use of evidence-based training.
