consistent correction. Most veterinarians are not able to perform the farriery required to address foot and limb issues in foals, so their reliance on a farrier becomes obvious. A veterinarian not well versed in farriery should familiarise themselves with good basic farriery and have a working knowledge of this discipline. An avenue of communication between the professions is not only necessary but mandatory. Hoof care in the first few months of life is serious business and should never be taken lightly. Appropriate farriery combined with medical/surgical input from the veterinarian is essential when confronted with orthopaedic disorders related to the limbs. Farriery plays a vital role in both the development of the hoof and the conformation of the limb. A planned foot care programme is time consuming whereas assembly-line trimming is quick and easy, but the former thoughtful approach is much more rewarding with a better outcome.
