A printable schedule for tracking hoof and dental care
Most horses need farrier care every 6 to 8 weeks. Senior horses with arthritis or laminitis history may need adjusted schedules.
| Date | Trim / Shoe / Reset | Hoof Findings | Farrier | Next Due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Senior horses should have a dental exam at least once a year. Worn or missing teeth, hooks, and sharp points affect chewing and weight.
| Date | Findings (hooks, wear, missing teeth) | Vet / Dentist | Next Due |
|---|---|---|---|
Record quidding (dropping feed), reluctance to chew, lameness, abscesses, or special shoeing needs.
Senior horses often develop worn, loose, or missing teeth that require diet adjustments such as soaked feeds or hay replacers. Schedule farrier and dental care on the advice of your professionals based on your individual horse.
