Many of us in hoofcare have looked for “the perfect hoof.” What example should we be working towards? What is the “ideal”? Is there a “textbook” hoof? Should there be?
I reached out to Bonny Mealand of “Touching Wild” to talk about her experiences traveling the world and observing the soundness, movement, and hoof appearances of wild/feral equines in a variety of environments. She talked to me about what she sees in terms of hoof health, angles, comfort, and more.
You can hear the entire conversation on any podcast app under “The Humble Hoof,” or directly at this link.
You can learn more about Bonny on her website, touchingwild.com.
