Episode 16 - Hoofcare for the Dressage Horse

In this episode, we explore the precision of shoeing the dressage horse, from Intro level through to Grand Prix.

Learn how different movements influence hoof loading, how to assess the horse both statically and dynamically, and how shoeing strategies adapt to surfaces, conformation, and performance demands.

We cover trimming principles, shoe selection, barefoot management, and the importance of working alongside vets and physiotherapists to support long-term soundness.

A practical, evidence-based guide for farriers working with the modern dressage athlete.
