A less formal format where I chat about Covid-19 laws in NSW and answer a listener question.

In which I go through the various hoof protection types I use in my business to help horses.

In which I chat with Michelle Hansen from Horse In Hand Equine Sports Therapy about how hooves and the body relate to each other.

In which I go through some of the ways hooves deal with, and react to, the environment around them. References: http://www.escobuff.com/files/Retracted_Soles.pdf Ramey, P. (2011). Care and rehabilitation of the equine foot. Lakemont, Ga: Hoof Rehabilitation Publishing, LLC.

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.
