Performance Trim
Your horse's deserve the very best in hoof care, & it all starts with a solid, reliable trim.
Without rock solid basics, your horse is at risk of developing more serious issues down the road, including thrush, cracks, or worse
Here at Finger Lakes Forge, we pride ourselves on providing the most thorough trim and hoof assessment available.
Our dedicated Performance Trims are the ounce of prevention your horse's need to thrive.
We approach this process from a holistic point of view, first assessing the overall condition of your horse and it's hooves.
Trimming involves using brushes or hoof knives to clean the bottom of the hoof of debris & loose material. Hoof wall extending beyond the natural sole plane of the foot is cut off, planed flat with a course file, & balanced in relation to the rest of the horse's limb.
