Give
your horse a solid foundation.
Inspect his hooves frequently.
There's
an old cowboy saying "no hooves, no horse." If old paint
doesn't have a solid foundation you'll be the one who walks the
trail. To make sure your horse's hooves are healthy, pick up his
feet regularly and inspect them. If your horse has been standing
in mud or water it can lead to cracked hooves.
Check
for loose clinches. that's the firs sign of a shoe about
to pull. Call your farrier to reset the nail.
Watch
for hairline cracks.If they spread up to the coronet band,
they can seriously compromise the hoof's integrity.
Get
rid of unsightly slough around the coronet band. It's a
signof dryness. Apply Hoof Manicure and massage into the
hairline.

your nails and softens rough spots anywhere on your body. It also
helps relieve itching and has a great fragrance. So keep one in
