Why do we tell our kids that our horses are 'having a pedicure' or 'having his toenails cut just like you!' when hoof maintenance is one of the more important parts of our horse's healthcare?
We shouldn't trivialize something so important. This doesn't set our kids up to have an interest or understanding in this aspect of their future horse's care and it doesn't set our horses up for good health care when those kids are older and making decisions about their horse's care.
Our horse's health care begins with OUR thoughts, knowledge and understanding. And that starts with what we're taught by those who go before us.
What were you told taught way back when that could've been taught to you better?
