I was told you have to trim in short sessions to avoid over-tenderness. Is this true? I have a rescue with this same problem I need to tend to him pronto, also, not broke stallion ta boot. oh yeah!
It is not true that you need to trim the horse in short sessions. In neglected situations, it is more beneficial to trim as much of the hoof back in such a manner to ease breakover, which relieves the leverage/pulling of the tendons. I hope this answers your question.
@doradofishin I dont neccesarily see the sence in this, I would think short frequent trimmings would be 10x better because the tendons are so use to being one way that if you did one big trim it could train the tendons, many frequent ones would be better in my opinion. Just kinda common logic.
@dorin01 No, thats called "padding the bill" in horseshoeing. If your horse is overgrown he will be sore for a day or 2 after a correct trim but if you let him go 12 months without a trim and let his toe reach 6 plus inches in length I doubt you were planning on going for a 20 mile ride on him, think about it.
Still too long in the toe on most
