We all know the phrase “No Hoof, No Horse.” If a horse has poor quality feet that lead to lameness issues, the results can be career-ending. But is it all up to chance? Do we just hope we bought a horse that has “good genetics” and leave it up to fate? Or are there things we can do as owners to ensure that we are doing all we can to help our horses grow healthy feet?
Dr. Priska Darani, the Director of Research and nutritionist at Mad Barn, and Dr. Fran Rowe, veterinarian and nutritionist at Mad Barn, discuss nutrition and the hoof, dietary help for winter laminitis, and more.
You can hear the entire conversation on your favorite podcast app under “The Humble Hoof,” or directly at this link.
