Why are regular Farrier visits important?
Under normal conditions a hoof grows about a quarter of an inch every month. As the hoof grows it needs the attention of a Farrier, growing faster at the toe the hoof will become out of balance and a Farrier must be called in to properly balance the hoof. If not trimmed stress can be placed on the ligaments and tendons, also a disruption of blood flow to the hoof will put undue stress on the limbs and hooves of the horse.
