Understanding the Importance of Hoof and Joint Care in Horses

Optiwize Health10 Oct, 2025Health

The most effective approach to equine joint and hoof health is a sustained, long-term regimen, rather than reacting to acute issues. This strategy involves a multi-faceted routine: consistent nutritional management, a defined farrier schedule (every 6-8 weeks), and regular veterinary wellness checks. Integrating controlled exercise and rest periods allows the musculoskeletal system to adapt and repair. This disciplined, proactive care plan is foundational to maximizing a horse’s longevity and maintaining peak comfort.
