Hoof growth

The hoof growth describes the process of the growing hoof. It starts from the coronary band down to the hoof toe. How fast a hoof grows depends on the horse but younger horses do also have a higher heartbeat and therefore also a faster hoof growth but the average grow is 1/4 to 3/8 inch per month. It takes between 9-12 months from the hoof wall to grow down fully to the distal border.
