Hoof Care 101: The Tools You Should Never Skip
Of all the parts of a horse’s body, the hooves rank among the most critical. They support the animal’s weight, absorb shock, and provide stability across varied terrain. Poorly maintained hooves can quickly develop issues ranging from cracks to infections, which compromise gait and overall soundness.
For farriers, maintaining hoof health is both an art and a science, and it begins with having sturdy and reliable hand tools. Mastery of these tools supports precision, efficiency, and the long-term comfort of the horse.
