Can a Farrier Fix Pixie Feet in Horses?

A farrier cannot "cure" pixie feet.

* Pixie feet are a genetic condition: Congenital, caused by a genetic mutation affecting bone development in the hooves.
* Farriers work with hoof structure: They can trim, shoe, and care for hooves but cannot alter the underlying genetic condition.
* Treatment focuses on managing symptoms: Supportive shoeing, hoof trimming, and pain management.

If you suspect your horse has pixie feet, consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.
