Susan Kauffmann is the co-author with Christina Cline of The Essential Hoof Book: The Complete Modern Guide to Horse Feet - Anatomy, Care and Health, Disease Diagnosis and Treatment. Trust me – despite the mouthful of a title, this is a wonderfully accessible book.
Kauffmann and Cline will present at the Best Horse Practices Summit in Lexington in October. That’s the super fun and enlightening conference that I direct and where Jec is also presenting.
Anyway, here, Susan explains how tragically common hoof problems are and how unnecessary they are. What develops in the feet has everything to do with how we keep our horses, what we feed them, how they are able (or not) to move freely. There is one helpful insight after another in this short interview and I was so happy to produce it.
Oh, and how lucky are y’all -- We’re giving away copies of The Essential hoof book in the e-book version to two lucky listeners. Just visit here to learn more. Super easy to enter.
