"Was that 5 weeks ago or 7?"

Hoof care is too important to track on a sticky note. Cycle length, flare patterns, what's working, what isn't — your farrier needs the history, and so do you.

Hoof history that travels with the horse

Cycle reminders

Set your cycle (6 weeks, 8 weeks, whatever works) and Proper Strides reminds you when the next reset is coming up.

Hoof photos

Build a visual timeline. Compare this cycle to six months ago. Notice the slow changes before they become problems.

Share with your farrier

Invite your farrier into the barn. They see the full hoof history and can add notes after each visit.

A complete hoof record per horse

Every visit logged: full reset, trim only, front shoes off, pads added. Plus your farrier's notes — "left hind slight flare corrected, moving to 6-week cycle."

When a new farrier takes over, they have the entire history in seconds. No guessing.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a horse see the farrier?

Most horses need a farrier visit every 6 to 8 weeks. The exact cycle depends on hoof growth rate, work, conditions, and whether the horse is shod or barefoot. Your farrier sets the right cycle for each horse.

Can my farrier add notes to my horse's records?

Yes. Invite your farrier to your barn with the Farrier role. They can log every visit — trim, shoes, pads, hoof notes — directly to your horse's record.

How do I track when the next farrier appointment is due?

Proper Strides calculates the next due date from your set cycle (e.g., 6 weeks) and last visit. You get reminders before the appointment so you have time to schedule.

Can I track multiple horses with different farrier cycles?

Yes. Each horse has its own farrier schedule. Some horses go 6 weeks, others 8 — Proper Strides handles each independently and reminds you per horse.

What hoof information should I photograph?

Photos at every farrier visit (sole, frog, hoof wall side and front) build a visual timeline. They're useful for tracking flare correction, white line issues, or any change in hoof shape over time.
