Why Balance & Support Is Important
When hooves are not balanced, extra stress can be placed on joints, tendons, and muscles. Over time, this can lead to discomfort or changes in movement.
Balance and support hoof care helps reduce uneven stress, encourages smoother movement, and supports long-term soundness. This type of care is especially helpful for horses that are aging, increasing their workload, or showing signs of uneven wear.
In Southwest Florida, footing and terrain can change often, making regular balance evaluation an important part of hoof care.
