Does your horse have hooves that are not quite right? Don't know where to start  seeking out information on how to help your horse be comfortable again? This episode we go though some horse management practices that can have a significant impact on your horse's hoof health. Studies referenced for this episode: Hampson, B. A., de Laat, M.
