Corrective Trimming
Gradual work with deformations, growth disorders, and complex cases. The goal is to restore a hoof shape that supports proper biomechanics.
Description
Corrective trimming is necessary when the hoof shape deviates from optimal: asymmetry, angle changes, uneven wear, support problems. The work is done gradually — only those changes that the hoof can safely handle are corrected in one visit.
Each session begins with evaluating the horse's movement, analyzing the current hoof shape, and comparing it with previous visit results. Based on this information, a decision is made about the scope of work.
Indications
| Hoof deformation | Asymmetry, angle changes, club foot |
|---|---|
| Support issues | Uneven load distribution on the wall |
| Stumbling and lameness | Related to hoof shape |
| Post-injury | Restoring proper shape after damage |
| Post-laminitis | Step-by-step correction with altered shape |
| Pre-shoeing | Forming the weight-bearing surface for the shoe |
