International Hoof-Care Summit

I attended the International Hoof-Care Summit down in Cincinnati this week. Balance balance balance was the main topic of discussion. There are a lot of different opinions about what balance is and how you actually achieve it in the horse's foot. There were lectures on how nutrition plays a part in the horse's foot and the biomechanics of the horse's foot and lower leg.


What amazed me the most was how different farriers look from one another. The other thing was we all seem to be a real conservative bunch of individuals. I enjoyed the conference but I hate being away from my family. No matter how loud they are in the mornings.
