Summer Hoof Care Tips: Protecting Your Horse's Hooves During Dry Weather
Share
As the weather becomes warmer and the ground gets harder, your horses hooves can quickly become dry, brittle and prone to cracking. The transition from wet spring conditions to dry summer ground can be tough on hoof quality, making daily hoof care even more important.
At NRT Hoof Solutions, we believe prevention is key when it comes to maintaining strong, healthy hooves throughout summer months.
Our Top Summer Hoof Care Tips
- Pick Out Hooves Daily - Removing stones, dirt and packed debris helps prevent bruising, thrush and bacterial build-up. Pay close attention to the frog, sole and heel areas.
- Maintain Moisture Balance - Dry conditions can pull moisture from the hoof, leading to brittleness and cracking. Applying hoof butter daily helps maintain elasticity and condition while supporting overall hoof health.
- Watch For Cracks - Hard summer ground can increase stress on the hoof wall. Regular inspection helps catch small cracks before they become a bigger problem.
- Keep To A Regular Farrier Schedule - Balanced trimming or shoeing is especially during summer months when hooves may chip or wear differently due to hard surfaces.
- Support Hooves From The Inside Out - Healthy hooves start internally too. A balanced diet and good nutrition play a major role in hoof growth and strength.
