Sharon Horse Talk

Ah, the old horseman's rhyme about hoof color and soundness! This saying has been passed down for generations, suggesting that a horse with more white on its hooves might have weaker feet. While traditional wisdom often warned against too much white on a horse's hooves, modern understanding tells us that hoof strength is more about genetics, nutrition, and care than color alone.

Many horses with white hooves have perfectly strong, durable feet when properly maintained. What really matters is the quality of the hoof structure, good trimming, and proper diet. Have you ever found this rhyme to hold true in your experience or do you think it's more old folklore than fact? ??
