March is Preparing for Spring Month
When preparing your horse for spring, your farrier plays a crucial role in ensuring their hoof health. Here's what they need to consider:
-
Increased Hoof Growth:
-
Spring often brings increased hoof growth due to richer grazing and better nutrition. Your farrier will need to adjust their trimming schedule accordingly.
-
They'll focus on maintaining proper hoof balance and shape to prevent issues caused by rapid growth.
-
-
Addressing Winter Damage:
-
Winter conditions, such as mud and moisture, can lead to hoof problems like thrush or abscesses. Your farrier will need to assess and treat any existing issues.
-
They'll pay close attention to cracks or separations in the hoof wall, which can be entry points for bacteria.
-
-
Adapting to Changing Ground Conditions:
-
As the ground transitions from frozen to soft and muddy, your farrier may need to adjust shoeing or trimming techniques.
-
They may recommend specific shoe types or pads to provide better traction and support in varying terrain.
-
-
Regular Maintenance:
-
Regular trimming and shoeing are essential for maintaining hoof health throughout the spring season.
-
Your farrier will help ensure your horse's hooves are in optimal condition for increased activity and turnout.
-
-
Hoof Health Assessment:
-
It is very important for the farrier to assess the overall health of the hoof, and to check for any signs of infection, or other issues.
-
Spring season tasks to keep up with:
-
Inspect and clean hooves daily.
-
Ensure adequate turnout/exercise and nutrition.
-
Assess diet and adjust for lush spring grass to prevent your horse from developing pasture-associated laminitis (a very painful hoof disease).
-
Discuss summer activities with your farrier and the appropriate trim/shoe for summer.
-
As hoof growth speeds up with warm weather and spring grass growth, adjust your trim/shoe schedule accordingly.
-
Increase turnout and activity levels gradually to prevent hoof problems from developing.
In essence, your farrier will be focused on:
-
Maintaining hoof balance.
-
Addressing any existing hoof problems.
-
Adapting to the changing season.
By working closely with your farrier, you can help ensure your horse's hooves are healthy and ready for the spring season.
