This clinic is intended to educate and familiarize the attendee with how to gain all the benefits of a barefoot hoof while still achieving the protection, installation ease, and low cost of traditional nail-on steel horseshoes. The importance of providing the horse with as much natural hoof mechanism flexibility as possible will be accomplished through highlighting the critical factors driving healthy hooves. The unfavorable impacts on hoof and horse soundness that is caused by one-piece shoes and their constraining effect on hoof flexibility will be compared against the favorable developments occurring from un-constraining the hoof through the use of a split-shoe approach to hoof care. Extensive academic and long-term field trial data will be referenced. Attendees will gain firsthand knowledge of real-world split-shoe usage through a live-horse demonstration covering recommended trimming, hoof mapping, shoe fitting, nailing, and final splitting techniques.
