A couple of weeks ago our vet came out to do vaccinations. He always notices our horses’ feet and we had a long chat about the barefoot transition which has happened since we last saw him, and he seemed very impressed especially with Tuco’s (Spotty) changes. He actually said it was actually a quite remarkable change and that all their hooves looked great.
Today we took Zanti and Tuco out for a jumping lesson. When we got to the venue, we saw our vet on the yard doing what appeared to be a lameness examination on a client’s horse. We waved and said hello. While we were waiting to go in the arena, he brought his client over, and showed her our horses hooves! He told her this is how they should look, how nature intended - not distorted like how her farrier was making her horse with the shoes !!! And he told her how Spotty’s hooves had changed since the shoes came off (uprighted, grown heel, rounded toes etc).
If you lead by example, you do not need to say anything. Thanks Lana for sharing your knowledge so passionately, and leading us all to better hooves and happier horses 🙂
