Method

We believe that nature in evolution has given horses the hoof shape they need for their lives and survival. In the wild, the horse can gallop wildly over any ground at any time to escape without hoof protection.

​

We are now trying to give the horses back their natural hoof shape that their

Self-healing powers are awakened. The metabolism can then take over the healing process itself.

Horse in the wild, hooves, free-living

Our aim is to help the hoof achieve a natural wear-growth balance so that only minor corrections are necessary in the long term.

For the self-healing and health of our horses and their hooves, the following is equally important:

  • SPECIES-APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS

  • HOOF SHAPES conforms to the EVOLUTION

  • and this continuously in balance of abrasion and growth.

  • SPECIES-APPROPRIATE NUTRITION

  • Often less is more. Too much well-intentioned behavior is often to blame for the toxic state

Species-appropriate husbandry includes, for example,

  • the diet, everything that goes into the horse

  • continuous movement with a lot of straight ahead

  • social contacts

  • 24h hay (depending on the breed, avoid eating breaks of more than 4 hours)

  • inner attitude of the caring person

  • the run on different hard surfaces

Therefore, advice on posture and nutrition is part of hoof care and therapy.

Identify and eliminate causes in cooperation with the horse owner.
