THE WHITE vs DARK FOOT DEBATE

Did you know, for centuries it was believed that “white” hooves were structurally inferior to dark hooves? The truth, however, is that there’s no scientific evidence of any significant difference between pigmented and non-pigmented feet, either in terms of horn hardness or durability. The only difference is that with the white hoof it is easier to see bruising, dirt tracks etc, these things are going on in the dark hoof too, it is simply harder to see them.
