Hoof balance and shoeing decisions

Objective gait analysis helps identify movement asymmetries linked to hoof imbalance or uneven limb loading. It gives farriers a repeatable reference point to guide shoeing strategies and assess their impact over time.

Before and after shoeing

Quick recordings before and after a trim or shoeing make it easy to quantify changes, fine-tune interventions, and build confidence in your approach.

Proactive care and early referral

Regular use helps you monitor changes in movement over time and spot emerging issues sooner. This enables timely adjustments to your approach — and earlier referral to a vet when needed.

“So much of what we do as farriers can be subjective. Sleip gives me black-and-white evidence; accurate data that backs up what I’m seeing and makes it easier to discuss a horse’s progress with vets and clients. It turns opinion into shared understanding. I use Sleip to track upper-body movement and asymmetry, alongside other tools that capture footfall. Together, they give a head-to-toe picture of how the horse moves. It means I can see whether a shoeing change has had a positive effect — or if we need to rethink the approach.”
