I went to a one day workshop on maintenance trimming and it was super fun. We learned about hoof anatomy, ideal conditions for hoof health, and how evolution affected the hoof. We also did trimming on a cadaver and then our own horses.
Anyway, to get to the point. Do any of you do maintenance trimming on your horses? How often? And when do you get the professionals in - is it just when something like thrush or laminitis pops up, or do you get them in regularly to check how their feet are going? What are your opinions on maintenance trimming vs them being done every 6 weeks?
