‼️Reminder‼️
Not everything you read on social media is from a reliable source!
Learning more about hoof care and tapping into the wealth of knowledge out there is absolutely encouraged.
BUT... it's also a great way to spread misinformation.
Make sure you're getting the information from the experienced and educated.
As a minimum, registered farriers in the UK must pass a rigorous exam after a 4-year apprenticeship to legally shoe horses - and the learning doesn't stop there.
🔨Ask your farriers questions
🧲Use their knowledge and experience
🗣Take their advice
🐴They know your horse and are often in a good position to help.
❓DID YOU KNOW❓
"PUTTING A MARE IN FOAL WILL STOP HER GETTING LAMINITIS" 🤔🤔
🤭🤭 Did you believe us? We made that up 🤭🤭
(Pregnancy increases the risk of laminitis for broodmares with previous history. The extra weight on hooves can cause laminitis reoccurring and post foaling complications can cause acute attacks)
