Met a guy at the Reno horse show who said trimming every six weeks is a waste of time
He was a trainer with a string of quarter horses and told me, 'You're just filing off good hoof if you stick to a rigid schedule.' I argued that regular maintenance prevents bigger issues, but he insisted on watching the horse, not the calendar. How do you guys decide when a horse is actually ready for a trim?

What, does his calendar only have the days he feels like working?

Hear that all the time from barn know-it-alls. Watched a guy let his horse's toes get so long it started stumbling on flat ground. Some people just use any excuse to skip the farrier.
