Horse Trimming and Shoeing hoof Process
Regular trimming is necessary, regardless of whether the horse is shod or barefoot. It’s best for your horse’s limb and hoof health, easiest to fit into your routine, and helps your farrier take the best possible care of your horse. Work with your farrier to schedule regular trims.
Shoeing is a necessary evil. It would be desirable if horses could go barefoot all the time, but this is sometimes impractical and/or impossible.

Shoes are needed to keep the hoof from wearing down faster than it can grow. In the wild, a horse who wore his hooves too short would get sore and would move around less until they grew out. But we ask our horses to work more than the hooves can keep up. We also ask our horses to work in rough footing where the bare foot cannot protect itself. Shoes raise the sole off rocky surfaces and keep the walls from chipping.

Plus, horses don’t always have ideal hooves—some have cracks, weak shelly walls, or are recovering from an injury. If your horse doesn’t have strong hoof walls, it may be from genetics or from the environment. Be sure to feed him the nutrients he needs (check with your farrier and veterinarian to see if a nutritional supplement like biotin is needed to grow stronger hooves). Secondarily, apply any topical treatment indicated (hoof dressing popularity seems to go in cycles, and need is also determined by how often you wash your horse’s legs and if he’s in a dew-to-dry environment).
