If it is a young horse the cowhocks can be helped a little with good trimming and shoeing. But there really is little that can be done. Cowhock is common in certain breeds such as Arabians. There are some people that believe a cutting horse that is a little cowhocked actually helps the horse gets his hocks underneath of him and he can cut a cow much better. Unless the cowhock is very severe it does not really seem to bother the horse or his preformance much.
