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
