Does your hoof care professional use radiographs (X rays) taken by your veterinarian to inform how he or she trims and/or shoes your horse? We posed this question to our readers in last week’s online poll. More than 350 people responded, and we’ve tallied the results.

Of the 359 respondents, 101 people (28%) said their hoof care professionals do use radiographs taken by a veterinarian to help inform how they trim and/or shoe the horses. Another 225 people (63%) said their hoof care professional does not use radiographs, and the remaining 33 respondents (9%) said they do not use a hoof care professional.

Additionally, more than 60 people shared comments about whether or not their hoof care professional uses radiographs.
