The shape of the hoof is a moment in time. This means that it is constantly changing.

Recognizing these changes is the first step in developing a healthy foot. In this presentation, Hall of Fame farrier and researcher Mike Savoldi will discuss the importance of protecting bone structure, bone position, and bone movement within the hoof capsule to produce a healthy foot.

Savoldi suggests traditional farrier science is in many ways hindering the farrier’s ability because it does not apply to the internal portions of the foot. This is the first part in his two-part presentation.
