Farrier

Farrier

The health of the hoof is crucial for the well-being and performance of your horse. As a veterinary clinic with a holistic approach, it is natural for us to integrate farriery into our treatment concept. Because: “No hoof, no horse” – this old saying remains just as valid today.

 

Expertise and Collaboration – Veterinarians and Farriers Working Hand in Hand

At our clinic, experienced farriers work hand in hand with our veterinary team. Once a week, Alex Würsch is on site to ensure the best possible hoof care for every horse – from leisure horses to high-performance athletes. Especially in orthopedic cases, close collaboration between veterinary diagnosis and professional shoeing is crucial for successful treatment.

Our goal is not only to treat existing problems but also to ensure long-term stability, health, and functionality of the musculoskeletal system.
