Thank you! It’s surprising how many people still see the hooves as separate from the rest of the horse, requiring little more than a maintenance or cosmetic approach. Every bodywork session I do involves a consideration of the feet, whether to see the influence caused by hoof pathologies or imbalance, or to see the signs that tell us more about what’s happening higher up.

I learned fifteen years ago to trim and shoe. Thank you so much for this article ! I hope it opens peoples eyes to the whole body approach for their equine partners. I also hope they look at the foot more closely with the great information you have put forth.
