The Magic Connection Between Hoof And Gut Health

What do cracked hooves, laminitis, and slow hoof growth have in common? They often start in the gut. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the hoof health and gut health connection—and what you can do to support both.

Farriers and trimmers play a role, but your horse’s diet, environment, and microbiome are just as important to consider.

When you listen you’ll learn:

  • Why chipping hooves aren't always your trimmer’s fault


  • How over-supplementing can wreck your horse’s gut health


  • How to simplify nutrition without expensive hay tests


Laura shares what she’s testing with her own horses right now—including a real-time case study.

If you’ve ever said, “My horse can’t go barefoot,” or “I don’t know why his hooves look so bad,” hit play now.
