Reducing the risk of Lameness

A Combination of a well formulated and adequate diet; correct hoof balance by regular and careful trimming to suit a horse’s individual conformation and athletic purpose; avoiding compacted and dry working surfaces; combined with proper warm-up and cooling down procedures, including ice or cold water hosing of the lower limb joints and tendons can help reduce the risk of common leg problems by up to 60%.
