Understanding medial-lateral balance starts with making sure you're looking at the hoof correctly.

In this short clip, Christine explains why she always checks that the centre line of the frog aligns with the centre line of the leg before assessing heel height. If the hoof is twisted, it's easy to misread which side is actually higher.

She also demonstrates the small adjustments you'd expect to make a couple of weeks after a setup trim and shares a quick tip for tidying loose frog material.

If you're interested in developing a deeper understanding of hoof care and trimming (we like to call it 'hoof grooming') this is just a small sample of what you'll find inside the Hoof Geeks Video Membership.

Training horses has taught me that your mindset matters.

The more time I spend focusing on what I'm thankful for, the less room there is for everything else.

That's something I try to carry with me both on and off my horses. 🩵

Applying Hoof Armor isn't complicated, but the preparation and technique make all the difference.

In this month's Hoof Geeks Membership video, Christine demonstrates the complete Hoof Armor application process, from preparing the hoof and loading the applicator to applying the product, curing it with baking soda, and knowing when it's time to reapply.

Along the way, she shares practical tips, common mistakes to avoid, and explains how Hoof Armor can help protect thin soles, weak white lines, excessive hoof wear and more.

This is the 28th video now available inside the Hoof Geeks Membership library, giving members instant access to a growing collection of practical hoof care education.
