- Let's talk hoof wall rings and how the trim affects them
#ItsNotRocketScience series of lectures
You're told hoof rings are ok, or they're bad, or they're just growth rings, or they're signs of inflammation - but what exactly are they and why are they there?
You're also told that divergent rings are a sign of laminitis - well in fact they are a sign of something else... watch the video to find out.
As always, your support is appreciated 🙏

I have done my own foot care since horse shoers were in my family. Thus I learned, and am forever grateful. I do not understand why anyone would take off the horses toe?? :( Trimming it back to re-balance is fine, but anything else is not nature's way. Great video for explaining 'feedback' from the hoof. Wish that more horse folks would listen to their horses feet! :)
We hope more people will notice and start to listen ❤️
Thank you for your time and knowledge!
My pleasure!
I have two horses of the same breed on the same system/diet, but only one of them has hoof rings as well as laminitis. Is there an explanation for that? Thank you in advance!
Really interesting! Thanks
Love this.... its the diet ! I see it all the time
Thank you - This is really interesting and helpful. My mare has a ring and now it makes more sense. She was on a steroids and bute for quite a long time due to an eye injury and a little while after she stopped all the drugs and had her eye removed I noticed the ring - I am hoping that this is just an event and that now the gut is not being effected by the drugs that the hoof above the ring is more healthy.
She had high insulin levels and pulses in her legs but with careful diet management was able to keep her sound and just about keep her from tipping over the edge. I’m watching all your videos and think you are doing an amazing job of educating us. Thank you so much xx
Well done for managing your horse well, and thanks for the kind words :)
Awesome work Thanks for showing us this. Personally, I always keep my ponies barefoot and actually rarely trim maybe once every six months. I do get accused of neglecting their feet because sometimes they seem to have pretty long toes. I rarely see lameness however even when I ride them hard. Cheers, and I must say again your insight is excellent.
Thanks for the kind words and most definitely less is more when it comes to equine hooves, just as long as they stay nice and balanced 👏👍
So, the toe is not getting any growing stimulation being dubbed off?
Exactly that.
My horse was diagnosed with pedal osteitis about 3 years ago. He is 12 yo and currently my pasture pet. He has been barefoot with a 4 week trim cycle ever since his diagnosis. His feet are very flat & thin soles. He eats quality grass hay w/ a forage balancer (K.I.S.), Cosequine daily and Adequan injections every 6 months. He is quite comfortable so far. Is there anything else I can do for him? Is there ever any hope his P 3’s could remodel and become healthy?
Sadly, he came to me this way (actually passed a PPE - they missed it) and I suspect he has had a very hard life before I bought him 4 years ago.
Love your videos ❤
Hi, do you have recent x-rays? Could you find our school on Facebook: HM International School of Horse & Hoof Care - then message us and we can go from there. We need more info :)
Sadly, I used to have Facebook but got hacked … never again. Thank you for your reply though. I don’t have the funds at the moment to get radiographs (unless it’s an emergency). I’ll give it a go in the Spring and see if there’s any improvements. Thank you again.
