Question
hello sir, how to get to know that my horse's hoof has grown and need to be trimmed?

Answer
Hello Rohit,

On average your horse's hoof grows 3/8 of an inch or more every 6 to 8 weeks. This amount of growth is enough to require a hoof to be trimmed. If your horse wears shoes you may need to trim the hoof and re-shoe the horse more often.
