Safety During Horse Hoof Care

"Hi! I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to show you some techniques that I use to properly care for my horse's feet. So in conclusion, a few things that you really want to do to ensure proper hoof health is of course you really want to keep your horse's feet nice and clean, make sure they are picked free of dirt, debris and rocks everyday. You also want to make sure that your horse is under proper care by a farrier every 4 to 6 to 8 weeks depending on your horse's needs. You also if your horse is having any type of hoof condition such as a fungal problem or an infection, you want to make sure that you are using the proper treatment so you can find out this information by either talking to your farrier or talking to your veterinarian. Keeping your horse's feet really nice and conditioned is another really great way that you can ensure proper hoof health. So using a really nice hoof conditioner on a daily basis especially if you live in a dryer climate or in a dryer environment can really ensure proper good health. Because if your horse doesn't have proper hoof health, you are going to have a really hard time keeping them sound and they are not going to be enjoyable for you or able for you to ride them. So you really want to make sure that good horse health starts from the hoof up."
