The environment, the terrain, genetics and even horseshoes can affect your horse’s most valuable asset. However, there are certain things that can be done to maintain a healthy horse with a healthy hoof.

You need to clean the hooves everyday with a simple hoof pick this will ensure that rocks and debris are not stuck in the hoof. It is also important to check your horse’s shoes for any loose or snagged shoes this will help keep the foot from bruising easily or putting the horse in pain that is not necessary. In addition keeping your horses hooves moisturized in dry temperatures will help prevent cracks and dryness. Along with that the ground plays important role in hoof care. If it is muddy where the horse is pastured or stalled please remove the horse. Standing in mud for a long period of time can cause fungus to grow in the hooves. And lastly you can feed your horse a type of feed that promotes hoof health.
