Horse Hoof Health Is Essential All Year Round

Hoof health is essential all year round, but seasonal weather changes have a major effect on a horse's hoof health.

The two main seasonal factors that impact hoof health: temperature and moisture and in Ireland because the weather is so changeable it's important to keep a close eye on your horse’s hooves. Changes in growth impact a horse’s hoof condition. The amount of moisture within the ground is one of the most important environmental factors to consider when looking at the horse's hoof.

Wet Conditions

Wet conditions increase the chance of infection because of the increase of moisture. If the ground is too wet, the foot of a horse can also become soft and saturated. In these conditions, the feet often expand and become softer. Hoof supplements such as Hoof First from Horse First can help horses contend with many environmental challenges throughout the year – the weather varies all the time, grazing quality fluctuates and your horse’s workload may change, too.
