so what happens, over time, as the hoof capsule shortens? This is the same hoof! This is not trimmed into the hoof, but the hoof is kept short and the frog is stimulated, and gradually the length of the hoof from hairline to toe is shortened. Rather like cutting a dogs toe nail. . . you can only cut it so short, the rest of the tightening up process is a retreat of the quick. This horse had all the right ingredients for a healthy hoof to emerge, even at an older age: 24/7 turnout, low sugar diet, exercise. After years of shoes, his hoof still has this inherent ability to correct.
