Happy, Healthy Horses

A Holistic approach to horse health encompasses the following :

Nutrition and diet:

A simple low-sugar diet, with appropriate minerals & salt, plus 24/7 access to grass or hay.

Movement:

Horses are designed to move. Access to large areas, track systems, and herd dynamics all encourage movement.

Environment: 

Horses are herd animals. They enjoy access to:

  • friends
  • shade
  • wet and dry areas
  • points of interest
  • a supply of horse-friendly grass

Appropriate trimming style & cycle:

A barefoot trim emulates how the horse would naturally wear in a varied environment with lots of movement. Low heels, short toes, and shaped to mimic a hoof in a natural environment.

Which all contribute to happy, healthy horses.
