Watch Beccy Smith trim a horse's hoof from her perspective during this equine podiatry consult, recorded by fellow professional Mandy McConechy from The SHIIFT Method (formerly Painless Equestrian Therapy).
This hoof type system is taught by Daisy Bicking at the International School of Integrative Hoofcare and helps to better identify and assess horses and their hooves, in order to provide the best possible hoof care intervention, for a proactive approach to holistic, integrative, welfare-focused hoof care.
This is a mentorship visit where I am checking, and if needed; readressing the trim in a horse in rehab, to help the horse find neutral posture and facilitate a return of equilibrium around the coffin joint, following hoof care provided by the horse's owner, Mandy, between professional visits
In the video, you will learn how I carefully address the mild distortion while maintaining optimum comfort, and trim in neutral posture to facilitate the release of fascial tension while trimming.
