hoof flares

["Maggie Mieske" <mmieske@netonecom.net>]

It will weaken the hoof wall temporarily until the hoof grows down IF the trims are kept up regularly.  However, if left too long, the flares will come back.  It takes several months and up to a year to get the thickness grown into those flare areas.  Done properly and consistently, the hoof will start to grow more vertically again.
