This hoof  has never been shod.  At 6 weeks it's  time for a trim, but everything on this foot is working beautifully.  This hoof produced the print below.

With time, exercise and a balanced diet the barefoot trim can help the horse  build a better hoof.   The examples of outer forms shown here relate to strong, healthy internal structures and that translates to  a sound, healthy horse.
