DID YOU KNOW?

The horse's hoof grows approximately 10 millimetres in a month. To keep the hooves in their optimal shape and size, the wear should match the growth rate, and if that doesn't happen naturally, a small weekly trim done by the owner is the most effective way to keep the hooves healthy and strong.

WE CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO DO THIS!
