🎄 A Little Christmas Idea! 🎄

One of my lovely clients suggested I start making Christmas decorations from old horse shoes. I absolutely love the idea… I’m working a 6-day week to keep up with farrier work, I just don’t have the time to make them myself!

✨ BUT — I do have plenty of used shoes here if anyone would like some to make their own cool Christmas decorations.

If you’re feeling crafty and want a few, just send me a message and I’ll put some aside for you.

Perfect for wreaths, stars, painted ornaments, rustic decorations and more ❄️🐴🎄

Follow-up from yesterday’s post 📌
This is what was hiding inside that hoof…

Here’s a closer look at the extent of excess growth and damage caused by the seedy toe in yesterday’s case.

The piece sitting on the ground is the section I removed — and when you place it beside the hoof, you can really see how much compromised material was sitting there, holding moisture and bacteria and slowly eating away at the hoof wall from the inside.

This is exactly why regular, quality farrier work is so important. Seedy toe doesn’t always look dramatic externally, but underneath it can cause huge separation and structural weakness if it’s not addressed early.

If something doesn’t look quite right in your horse’s hooves, don’t wait. A quick check and proper maintenance can prevent months of rehab. 🐴🦶✨

🚨 URGENT CALLOUT – SEEDY TOE LEFT UNADDRESSED 🚨

Received a message from a very worried owner. Their horse was trimmed just two weeks ago, yet the seedy toe was not addressed and the hoof was left unstable, cracking and separating right up the front.

🦶 When seedy toe is ignored, it spreads fast, weakens the hoof wall, and can lead to serious structural issues. What you see in the top photos is avoidable damage that should’ve been treated at the previous trim.

Today we cleaned it out properly, treated the infection, stabilised the wall, and fitted appropriate shoeing to support the hoof while it heals (bottom photos).

📌 Please remember:
✔️ Seedy toe must be opened, cleaned and treated — not left hidden.
✔️ Regular farrier visits are important, but quality of work matters just as much.
✔️ If something doesn’t look right, trust your gut and get a second opinion.

Huge credit to the owner for reaching out quickly so we could step in before it became a much bigger problem.

If your horse’s hooves aren’t improving between trims or you’re noticing cracks, gaps or soft spots in the wall — send us a message. Happy to help before it becomes urgent.

🐴 CORNS — A Common but Painful Hoof Problem

Corns are bruises that form in the heel area of the hoof — usually from uneven pressure, shoes left on too long, or shoes fitted too narrow at the heels and quarters, causing pressure on the sole.
They often start small but can quickly become sore, infected, and cause lameness if ignored.

🔹 What to watch for:
• Shortened stride or tenderness at the heel
• Red or bruised area when cleaning out the sole
• Heat or increased pulse in the foot (if infected)

🔹 Prevention & care:
• Keep shoeing cycles regular ⏰
• Make sure heels are properly balanced and supported
• Avoid shoes that are narrow at the heels and quarters
• Remove any trapped stones or grit early
• Get your farrier to check heel fit every visit

Corns are preventable — but only if you catch them early.
Regular farrier care and good hoof balance go a long way in keeping your horse sound 👣

Sitting in the McDonald’s drive-thru next to another car, both of us ordering at the same time. The lady beside me is gesturing out her window like a madwoman — turns out it’s Kristina! 🤣
She goes ahead, pays for her order… and mine too!
I’m seriously lucky to have such awesome clients who become great friends. Thanks, Kristina ❤️🍟
