"How can I help my horse stay comfortable between professional trims?"

For many horses, part of the answer may be a simple weekly touch-up trim.

In nature, horses wear their hooves gradually through movement over varied terrain. Domestic horses often don't have the same opportunities, which means hoof shape can begin changing long before the next scheduled trim.

In this article, Lisa Agius-Gilibert The Glorious Hoof explains:

• Why weekly toe maintenance can be beneficial
• How excess toe growth affects movement and breakover
• Why hoof shape matters for boot fit
• The structures that should be preserved
• How owners can safely maintain a simple toe bevel between professional trims

This is about maintaining comfort and hoof function between trims - not replacing your hoof care professional.

This past weekend I had the privilege of presenting “The Business of Hoof Care” at the ACEHP 20 Year Anniversary Conference - The Alchemy of Hoof Care in Kenilworth, QLD.

I was so honoured to be invited to speak alongside people like Carol Layton, Lindsey Field, Professor Christopher Pollitt, and so many other incredible professionals in the hoof care world. It was honestly a bit surreal!

It was such a beautiful weekend of learning, connection, conversation, and community. I got to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and spend time with people who care deeply about horses, hoof care and continuing to grow as professionals.

A huge thank you to Jen and Jeremy, the heads of ACEHP, for their generosity, kindness, hospitality, and for creating such a welcoming space. And a big thank you to Pauline, our MC, who did an amazing job keeping everything running smoothly and on track.

Also, I absolutely need to mention the catering, because it was AMAZING.

Presenting on the business side of hoof care is something I am so deeply passionate about. Being good at the hoof care bit is only one part of building a sustainable career.

We also need systems, boundaries, financial clarity, confidence, and a business that actually supports the life we want to live.

I’m so grateful I got to share that message with such a thoughtful and engaged room.

Thank you ACEHP for having me. What a special weekend.
