Absolutely, no foot no horse. It might be one of the oldest sayings in the book, but one of the truest…
Smiles all round, because great teamwork starts from the ground up! 🐎😁
Behind every happy, sound horse is a skilled team, and farriers play a vital role. From maintaining balance and symmetry to supporting movement and performance, good hoof care is fundamental to a horse’s overall health and wellbeing.
A horse’s hooves grow continuously (typically around 6–10mm each month) and without regular attention, imbalances can quickly develop. These can place strain on joints, tendons, and ligaments, affecting both comfort and long-term soundness.
Whether a horse is shod or barefoot, correct farriery tailored to the individual is essential. Regular trimming or shoeing helps maintain proper hoof shape, supports weight distribution, and can help prevent issues such as cracks, uneven wear, and lameness.
It’s often said ‘no foot, no horse’ and for good reason! Strong, healthy hooves are the foundation of everything they do.
We’re proud to celebrate the people who keep horses moving, one hoof at a time!
