Most, but not all of the photos in columns 1 and 2 have been taken before and after the first trim by a HOOFNZ Natural Hoof Care Practitioner. Some of the photos in column 2 and the remaining columns have been taken anywhere from months to years after the initial first trim. Redeveloping strong hooves takes time and each equine has its own unique healing process. Natural hoof care encourages balance and the re-growth of healthy, well-attached hoof capsules through trimming specific areas of excess hoof horn. Owners need to be aware that diet, lifestyle, balanced movement and therapy play a large part in the rehabilitation of damaged hooves. If you have any questions about any of the hooves pictured here please send them to info@hoofnz.org.nz
