Matters of Soundness: Elevating Equine Health with Modern Farriery

At Davies & Co. Farriery LLC, our mission is to keep your horses healthy, comfortable, and performing at their best. Yet, lameness remains a persistent challenge in the equine world—affecting 1 in 5 horses in the U.S. each year and costing the industry over a billion dollars. The good news? Many cases are preventable with the right approach to hoof care and management. [Matters of...dness copy]

Rethinking Tradition: Science-Backed Farriery

Recent research and clinical experience, as highlighted in Matters of Soundness copy, show that outdated hoof-care practices are often at the root of lameness. Horses are naturally designed for movement, but traditional trimming and shoeing methods sometimes fail to support their biomechanics. By embracing science-driven techniques, we can help horses move more naturally, reducing the risk of injury and maximizing their comfort. [Matters of...dness copy]

The Power of Natural Hoof Care

Our approach at Davies & Co. Farriery LLC is grounded in the latest findings:

• Innovative trimming and shoeing: We use methods that respect the horse’s natural hoof movement, helping to prevent strain and injury.

• Customized care: Every horse is unique. We tailor our services to each animal’s needs, supporting long-term soundness and performance.

• Education and partnership: We work closely with owners, trainers, and veterinarians to spot early warning signs and address issues before they become serious. [Matters of...dness copy]
