I think that is where people go wrong with bare foot' the horse is sore so they keep him off hard going and that is wrong' my heavy lad took a long time to grow good feet after taking his shoes off but I kept him going over anything just got off and walked when he didn't like the going or took him out in hand or on long lines' his feet went through a really bad stage of cracking and bits dropping off but you should see them now' when he is on the road the sound of them is just the same as shoes' don't give up they will come right with the right treatment' I did do a KC course last year and trim my own horses '

Thanks for your replies.
What I want to know is what is so different about the KC trim to the standard one that a 'normal' farrier would do? Is it about balance rather than actual trimming?

Jen - if you join the perfect hoof club, in KC's November dvd he answers this question totally... by showing you a farriers trim (as taught in US farriers book by a Doug somebody or other) and then performing the HPT trim on the same (cadaver) leg. He talks it through step by step. Totally brilliant and very understandable! www.theperfecthoof.com/
