Depending on many factors, such as age, nutrition, genetics, conformation, and natural wear, the hoof growth rate will vary. More important is desensitizing them to hoof trims, and you can start this right off the bat, at ANY age. When do you NEED to start trimming hooves? Once they start to grow past the quick. When is it best to start trimming hooves? As soon as possible, long hooves are far more difficult to maintain than short hooves.
