- What do you do to keep the hoof healthy when a horse has a VERY twisty leg? This video demonstrates how to navigate the twists so you can make the best decision possible when trimming or shoeing for overall balance. More horses have rotational deformities than we often identify!

Fantastic! This is exactly the next step I needed to see in learning to trim my girl. My horse is 26 and still sound, which is amazing, so whatever wonky things are happening with her legs and feet are clearly working for her. I want to make sure I'm trimming to help the hooves she needs to have, and not to some image of symmetry in my brain that may not help her. This is excellent!!
It's really important that we have objective information to back up our intuition! Your girl is lucky to have you taking care of her feet with such attention to detail and critical thinking!
Nature's balancing act; it's a fascinating, lifelong study. 👍😄
Truly!
Great video! I'm dealing with similar issues, and I've been contemplating the functional meaning of balance as it relates to trimming.
Thank you! I've refined my understanding of rotational deformities even more since this video! Hope to see you at an in person course soon! :)
Excellent video ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. DIY hoof care was overwhelming at first. You explain and show the physics of it in a way that is possible to understand quickly. I've had my horse for just under 2 years and can't depend on a farrier to take the time to correctly observe and trim her feet. She's seen 2 different farriers and she's had stumbling problems. Luckily, I was fortunate to have someone help me get started addressing her feet. I don't trim. I rasp. I address her feet weekly. No more stumbling. We thank you 🐎🙂.
So glad it's helpful!
Great visual explanation! Thank you for taking the time to create this video
Glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad!

Can you tell us what you mean by the bulge and dip in the quarter?
Horses that have a low heel develop a foot which distorts in really specific ways. They develop contracted heels, often have laid over, bent bars, and a weak frog/digital cushion. So the heels are long but oriented too low. That extra length has to go somewhere....so the heel quarters bulge out, and that creates a concavity in front of it on the wall in the quarters! ie. the bulge and a dip!
@@DaisyHavenFarm I had to read this three times. Now I’m going to go out and have a look at my horse. Mine has this problem too. That makes total sense about the knee pointing outward means that she breaks over off-center.
Would you trim the same way in a young horse (yearling) with this same deformity?
Could the leg angles be due to fascial structure and not entirely joint or bone?
There's always an aspect of compensation (which would cause asymmetrical fascial constriction for example) which we have to account for in our hoof care work. So yes, I do think we need to constantly reassess our interpretation of the structures! Especially over time. I would hope the horse would compensate in a more symmetrical way as time goes on.
Which hoof trimmer are you using?
