Q 1- What will happen if the horse's hoof is trimmed too short?

Over-trimming of the hoof would cause soreness in horses. The sole would appear flat and more exposed. We observed excess flexing of the hoof capsule in horses.

Q 2- Do horse’s trimmed hooves grow back?

Yes, horse’s hooves grow back after the wearing or trimming. The hoof may grow ¼ to ⅜ inch in a month. We must check the growth of the hoof with the utmost care to avoid over-trimming.

Q 3- Does hoof trimming cause pain in horses?

Hoof trimming has to be done by an experienced farrier after the evaluation of the hoof growth. The hoof capsule comprises a hoof wall, stole, and frog. Trimming the horse's hoof to a length that doesn't reach the level of nerve endings doesn't cause pain or hurt.
