What does a corrective trimming program involve?
A. A hoof can be rendered dysfunctional due to a number of factors including improper trimming and/or shoeing, injury, environmental conditions or genetic defects. A corrective trimming program allows a gradual return to the correct functional shape of a hoof. Corrective trimming is a specialised practice which should only be undertaken by a qualified individual who understands the anatomy and physiology of a horse’s hoof and has an understanding of the relationship between hoof balance, hoof shape and gait of the horse.
