Aspen, healthy hooves, natural bare hoof trim
Aspen is a great little sound horse, used for riding lessons. I am displaying her pictures here to show a healthy hoof with normal overgrowth. Here is a basic trim on a sound horse.

Lifestyle: All-day pasture with herdmates, stalled at night.




February 20, 2003 -- BEFORE Trimming

Six weeks since her last trim, her hoof wall and bars are overgrown. Her toe is worn a bit uneven due to conformational imbalances, and her hairline / coronary band from the side view shows a slight bulging upwards, you can see that these issues are worked out in just one trim.

    February 20, 2003 -- AFTER Trimming

    Just one trim and her frog is weight bearing, sole is concave, bars are straight and excess hoof wall growth is trimmed down to reveal a tight white line. The only issue I see here is a slight bit of bacteria in the frog, of which will disappear after a few topical treatments.
