Iron Free Hoof

- Learn how to read the Hoof


Welcome to Iron Free Hoof.

This site has a new format. The emphasis is no longer “how to trim”, but instead “how to read the hoof”.

I want you to be aware of the three dimensional aspect of the feet, and how it is influenced by many forces on many different planes.

The equine foot is extremely adaptable.

Look at the feet and remember the hoof is a living structure that is part of a larger living structure, the horse. Each horse is living and dealing with his own unique environment. There is no perfect and there are no absolutes. Learn from the hoof, the horse and the environment.

Enjoy! Paige Poss
