Can a barefoot trim rehabilitate my horse?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases of founder, or laminitis, a properly performed barefoot trim will help the hoof heal and strengthen and you're horse will be free from pain in a few months.

Question 2

How frequently must trims be repeated for best results?

Accepted Answer

Hooves grow pretty fast and will need to be trimmed approximately every 6 to 8 weeks.

Question 3

When are Boots Necessary?

Accepted Answer

when you have a horse that is often dealing with rough terrain when being ridden, it is recommended that you have him or her fitted for renegade hoof boots which are quite easy to put on and rarely break, however if they do break then you can trust that Wendy will fix them in no time. Boots that almost never break and are just as easy to put on are Easy Care boots which serve the same purpose. But, if your horse simply has sensitive hooves, then Wendy will most likely recommend glue on slippers or glue on shoes.
