What This Service Includes

Hoof Trimming

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.

What to Expect During a Hoof Trimming Visit

What to Expect

Hoof Evaluation and Balance Check

 Each visit begins with a careful look at the hooves. We check balance, growth, wear patterns, and overall condition before trimming starts.

Calm and Patient Handling

 We work quietly and patiently with horses of all temperaments to keep them relaxed and comfortable during the trim.

Trimming Based on the Individual Horse

No two horses are trimmed the same. Adjustments are made based on age, movement, workload, and daily use.

Clear Communication with Owners

 We explain what we see, answer questions, and share simple guidance to help maintain healthy hooves between visits.

Why Hoof Trimming Matters

Why Regular Hoof Trimming Matters

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.

Regular visits also make it easier to notice early changes in the hoof, allowing small concerns to be addressed before they affect soundness.
