Anatomical Safe Trimming is a type of hoof trim which results in an optimal hoof position correct for the individual horse. AS- trimming provides a well functioning hoof and a fast recovery of a problem hoof.
The principle of the AS trimming is about the ability and willingness of the horse to put load on his feet. The AS- method trims the hoofs in such a manner that the spring movement which takes care of the pump mechanism is not hindered. A correctly functioning hoof mechanism provides a good blood circulation in the foot and the leg. This is imperative to the general health condition of the horse and the optimal functioning of the hoof.
This method is a result of a thorough research and many years of practical experience from which it was obvious that the hoof is functioning differently as is generally accepted thus far. AS trimming is adjusted to these findings. Results show that this method provides a much faster recovery of the hoof then regular trimming methods.
