    Feral Vs Domestic Hooves with Bonny Mealand by Equithrive

    We have heard the arguments about how we can't compare domestic horse hooves to feral hooves because they lives such different lives and have different expectations. Is this true that we can't compare? Bonny Mealand talks about the hooves of free living equines and some major differences she notices in horses that are sound out "in the wild."

Everything for the hoof obsessed!!

My mare was diagnosed with navicular syndrome about 4 years ago, I immediately started researching on keeping her comfortable, barefoot and yes rideable! This podcast was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! I’ve listened to almost every episode!! Thanks to the advice here Lady , now 23, is walking tall, hitting the trails , and wearing her boots with pride! Major diet and supplement changes that I learned here made it all possible!
THANK YOU!!!!

Monique Alice ,
