Discussing Natural Hoof & Horse Care 

YOU’VE TRIMMED HIM TOO FAST

What’s the ideal time to trim a single foot? 10 minutes? 7? 5? Or maybe 2?

Everything depends on the persons knowledge, health and experience. 

There is NO ideal or proper timing. 

Why am I bringing this topic up?

I want to warn people not to get into the trap of judging farriers/trimmers based on how fast they trim a foot. In order to achieve the speed they are trimming the foot at, the professionals have to spend hundreds of hours of education and hands-on experience. 

Even the fastest, 2 minute trim can be high quality if done by a knowledgeable hoof care provider. 

The result is what matters!
