A horse’s hooves are not as hard as you might think.

When a horse has pain in their body, it will shift its weight to find some relief. After a while, the hooves bearing the extra weight will start to change shape. 

If you examine your horse’s hoof from behind, does one side seem higher than the other? If you compare all four feet, are they different shapes? Does the farrier have to make a different size or shaped shoe for each foot?

The farrier can try to reshape the hooves, but when the problem is higher up in the legs or body, any changes will be temporary. 

After doing the bodywork and yoga the horse will start to stand more squarely and its hooves will return to a more normal shape.
