Hooves Trimmed on a Gaited Mare with Shedding Frogs

This mare came to my friend with very upright and long "coke can" looking hooves. Sadly this is very commonly seen in the gaited horse world. Many people believe that having hooves like that makes the horse gait better and have more action. All I usually see are sore horses with hooves that are too long. In my opinion it's the equivalent of humans walking around in flippers or clown shoes all day.

Unfortunately having long hooves like this for a long period of time can cause many compensatory issues in other areas of the body. With this mare we have been fighting a sore lower lumbar and sacro-illiac area. But as her hooves get more and more balanced her back feels better and better.

I hope you enjoy the video of her trim. If you have any questions feel free to ask them below!
