Reliable, balanced hoof trimming focused on comfort, sound movement, and healthy hoof growth for horses, ponies, and donkeys across Southwest Florida.
Regular hoof trimming is essential for keeping horses comfortable, moving well, and staying sound. Whether your horse is lightly worked, in regular training, or retired, consistent trimming plays an important role in long-term hoof health.
Hoof trimming is the foundation of proper hoof care. At Florida Man Farrier, each trim is done with close attention to balance, shape, and the natural structure of the hoof.
Our goal is to support correct alignment, even weight distribution, and healthy movement. We address excess growth, uneven wear, and small imbalances before they turn into bigger problems.
Every horse is trimmed based on their age, workload, footing, and environment. Whether your horse is barefoot or part of a training program, regular trimming helps reduce strain and supports long-term comfort.
Each visit begins with a careful look at the hooves. We check balance, growth, wear patterns, and overall condition before trimming starts.
We work quietly and patiently with horses of all temperaments to keep them relaxed and comfortable during the trim.
No two horses are trimmed the same. Adjustments are made based on age, movement, workload, and daily use.
We explain what we see, answer questions, and share simple guidance to help maintain healthy hooves between visits.
Routine trimming helps keep hooves balanced and supports smooth, even movement. Proper hoof care reduces stress on joints, tendons, and ligaments and helps prevent discomfort caused by overgrowth or uneven wear.
