Are you using your pads to check how your horse loads each hoof?
I’ve been thinking a lot about true flare vs false flare and what a horse’s loading patterns tell us about how they need trimmed.
I recently added a SURE FOOT Equine pad to my toolkit to gain insight into weight distribution, balance, and how each horse loads.
These observations can help guide us toward an approach that supports each horse’s individual needs, comfort, and biomechanics.
The goal isn’t to make every hoof look the same, but to trim with purpose based on what each horse tells us.
