Episode 1: So, We Started a Hoof Podcast
If you’ve ever felt like you should know more about your horse’s hooves — but didn’t know where to start — this podcast is for you.
We’re not here to guilt anyone. We’re here to make horse and hoof care knowledge feel less intimidating, more accessible, and maybe even a little fun. Whether you're brand new to horses or knee-deep in laminitis rehab, we believe every horse owner deserves to feel confident reading a hoof — and empowered to ask the right questions before things go wrong.
The hoof is more than just the end of the leg — it’s a mirror of the horse’s overall health. From nutrition and movement to stress levels and metabolic balance, nearly every system in the body leaves its mark on the foot. A healthy hoof isn’t just about good trimming; it’s the product of good care, inside and out. That’s why understanding hooves means understanding the horse as a whole — because when something’s off in the hoof, it’s often just the tip of the iceberg... and we cannot wait to tell you all about it!
In this first episode, we’re diving into the origin story behind Primarily Hooves — how a few broken horses, one determined trimmer, and some wildly contracted heels led to decades of functional hoof rehab, and now… this podcast.
We talk about:
How we got into trimming and hoof rehab in the first place
What it was like navigating hoof care in the pre-Google days
Why owners often can’t do everything right — and how our rehab model evolved to help
Some early mistakes, surprising wins, and the horses who shaped us
The emotional side of rehab, and why mindset matters (for you and your horse)
This one is equal parts education and storytime. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and if you stick around long enough — you might just start seeing hooves a little differently.
If you care about your horse from the ground up, hit follow, leave a review, and come along for the ride — we’re just getting started.
