It never hurts to listen to advice from equestrian professionals, but there are so many different ways to manage horses that there’s rarely just one way to go about things.
Your farrier has noted something for a reason, and if your horse is fit and well under your current management then it may have been an advisory comment to help prevent any potential future problems. However, if you’ve started to question whether they’re right, then it might pay to do a little research.
