🐴 Big weekend ahead for the Tropical Coast Western Performance Club with their North QLD “A” Show Championship! 🌟

Recently I donated a full shoeing to help support the club’s fundraising for this event. 🙌 Congratulations to Lynette Fry, who cashed in her prize just in time – the day before the big show! 🎉

Wishing Lynette & the club the very best of luck for the weekend ahead 🍀 Doug & I truly appreciate all the support 🤙✨

⭐️ Interesting Case ⭐️

Seedy toe (also known as white line disease) is a separation in the hoof wall where dirt, bacteria & fungi can get in. If left untreated, it can spread up the hoof wall, weaken the foot & cause lameness 🐴.

To get on top of it, a fair amount of hoof had to be removed so the new hoof can grow out clean & healthy ✂️🦶.

👉 Things to look out for:
• A crack or gap at the toe or white line
• Hollow or crumbly hoof wall when picked at
• Unexplained tenderness ⚠️

✅ Early detection & removal are key to preventing bigger problems. If you’re unsure, always have your farrier check 🔍 🤙

⭐️ Interesting Case ⭐️
Keratoma & Hospital Plate

This horse was suffering from a keratoma, a benign tumor-like mass growing inside the hoof capsule 🐴. This needs to be surgically removed by a vet 🩺 as the pressure will cause chronic pain & lameness 💥.

With a massive hole after surgery, we have made up a hospital plate 🔩 to prevent contamination in the wound & allow the vets to inspect & change the dressing regularly 🧼👨‍⚕️.

With proper aftercare this horse will make a full recovery 💪. I strongly recommend consulting a trusted vet when it comes to lameness issues, as they have the power of X-ray vision 🩻 & we can get on top of any problems quickly ⏱️.

Will have the shoeing trailer at Bartlett Park Friday 20th before the rodeo from 8am onwards.
Send me a message to book in if you need anything done 🤙 🐴

🔥 Hot shoes for this hardworking stock horse!
This horse has great feet, but with the demands of mustering on rough, unpredictable ground, shoes offer a way to avoid excessive wear and tear and prevent it from getting sore-footed after a long days work.🦶🐎

🤙Shoutout to my client Dayna—every time I pull up, all 6 horses are caught, & another is already waiting in the cross ties! 🐴
I really appreciate this level of organization, as it helps keep everything running smoothly. Farriers often get a bad reputation for running late, but when horses are caught, it makes my job easier & ensures the next client isn’t kept waiting ⏰
A little preparation goes a long way, & I’m always grateful for clients like Dayna that do the little things to make my job easier!

Taking care of this horse’s feet despite the wet season—always great to see how well they hold up. Here's a look at the before, during, and after of a good shoeing session. 🤙🐴

🐎First Trim for This Filly!🐎

The first trims are extremely important for a new foal for a number of reasons.

⭐️Most Importantly - Regular trims guide proper hoof development. Fetlocks will set at around 3months & Knees will set between 7-9months of age. Once bones have set, that is how the horses conformation will be for life. Having a well balanced trim is essential to minimising poor conformation & associated problems later in life.

Great job to this owner for starting the handling process of picking up feet & getting her used to us farriers. She is setting her filly up for success! 🐴
