Horses hooves change & adapt to their environment. Choosing to keep a horse barefoot can have benefits ๐’‰๐’๐’˜๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’“, there are some things to strongly consider before taking that step (especially if they have been consistently shod).

Conversations with your farrier should include:
What footing are they going to be exposed to?
What does their workload look like?
Have they had previous lameness issues?
How does the current condition of their hooves look?

Not just because of the things we can see (fleas, ticks, parasites) but because of what goes unseen until it is too late โžก๏ธ ๐ŸฆŸ heartworm disease ๐ŸฆŸ

Heartworm disease can be treated but the damage ๐‚๐€๐๐๐Ž๐“ be reversed.
