These two horses were part of a rescue of 20 abused and abandoned horses in Colorado. Animals Abused & Abandoned was contacted by this rescue group to help pay for emergency farrier services.
Hoof care is an important part of the daily grooming routine of a horse. Hooves should be checked for signs of bruising, cracking and infection, and cleaned to remove manure, dirt and stones. Horse hooves grow constantly and require trimming about every six weeks.
