Pulled shoes today! 🐴 One of my favorite things to do is help a horse transition to barefoot, and I’m so excited to follow this one’s progress.
When transitioning a horse to barefoot, some of my favorite changes to watch for are those that happen inside the hoof capsule. Pinched-up, contracted heels begin to widen and open up, atrophied frogs start to develop and strengthen, and the digital cushion can gradually become fuller, and more developed.
It’s a process, and it takes time—but watching these changes happen is so rewarding!
Follow along for the after photos in a few months. I can’t wait to see how much this hoof changes! 🖤🐎
