Q: Are Akhal Tekes' feet strong? Is anybody on this list also on the
naturaltrim list where they are doing amazing things? It's a bit drastic
from all that one has learned and red on conventional hoof care, but the
philosophy and practice is quickly finding a sizable following among women
horse owners. Don't know about this breed and feet.

A: The quality and form of the hoof should be good in the Tekes. The hoof care depends on what you do with your horse. I do not think you can generalise about hoof quality in a breed, each horse needs an individual approach to hoof care.
