Farriers are consistently the first people to spot chronic health issues in horses because mysterious hoof problems like persistent thrush, crumbling AND cracking hoof walls, abscess cycles, and white line disease aren't actually hoof problems at all, they're external symptoms of internal inflammatory chaos that's compromising the body's ability to build healthy tissue from the inside out. 

In this episode, we are diving into several topics around the root cause of hoof problems:

  • why hooves reflect internal health
  • the role inflammatory diets play in that cycle
  • why hoof supplements don't always work (or stop working when you stop using them)
  • long-term solutions for hoof issues
