HOOF GAUGES ARE a little bit like seat belts.

THE REAL WINNERS from the International Hoof-Care Summit weren’t to be found in the classrooms and exhibit galleries of the Cincinnati Convention Center, or in the plush hallways of the Hilton Netherlands Plaza Hotel.

Clicker training is a great tool to add to your bag of horseshoeing tricks.
