how often does your horses feet get seen to?

[Nuttymanxmare]

Mine has long toes and low heals due to the previous owners neglect. ATM she shod every five weeks with a full set as her fronts are growing really slowly.

She used to be on Farriers Formula but this didn't make a difference in the growth so now she just has Effol on every day as the quality of hoof isn't great either.

 

[spookypony]

barefoot trimmer, every 4 weeks. She needs to do very little, since his feet seem to be pretty well self-maintaining ATM!

 

[Tia]

All horses here are trimmed every 6 weeks in Spring, Summer and Autumn; and every 8 weeks in winter.

Ellie is shod about every 10 weeks, give or take (sometimes longer in winter, shorter in summer). She has excellent feet, and I do not do anything to them! She has also only twice lost a shoe, in 8 and a half years of ownership!

 

[chestnut cob]

He is shod every 6-8 weeks. He never wears shoes out but does need the farrier regularly. I never go less than 6 and not more than 8.

He has the farrier, not convinced about all these barefoot trimmers. When I had my Welshy "barefoot" (as in, unshod) he just had the farrier out to balance them and trim if needed.

No foot problems at all (*touches wood*)

I'm not sure what you mean by foot care but he just has his feet picked out. I tend not to wash feet off, I'd prefer to let mud dry and then brush off. If they are washed off, I make sure everything is dried properly as I don't think a lot of wetting and drying cycles are good for their feet or the skin on their legs. TBH his feet are only washed off if, like today, I've been out in our canter field where the mud absolutely stinks.
