🐴Just a heads up — I’ll be off the tools from Friday 8th of August & back to work Tuesday 19th of August.

I’ll be tying the knot 💍& spending some time with friends & family.

Thanks so much for your support — make sure to book in early if your horse needs a visit before then, I will be available to contact for scheduling & emergencies.

Cheers! 🤙

⭐️ 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 ⏱️.

🔥 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! 🐴

It’s That Time of Year Again… 🌧️🐴

Wet weather can be tough on your horse’s hooves, so here are a few tips to keep them in top condition:

1️⃣ Keep it Clean – Mud and moisture can lead to issues like thrush and abscesses. Regularly pick out hooves and keep them dry where possible.

2️⃣ Check for Problems – Keep an eye out for soft spots, cracks, or any signs of discomfort. Early detection is key!

3️⃣ Provide Dry Areas – Give your horse access to a dry space to avoid standing in wet, muddy conditions for too long.

4️⃣ Stay on Schedule – Don’t skip farrier appointments! Regular trims and maintenance are even more important during wet weather.

A little extra care goes a long way in keeping your horse comfortable and healthy this season. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Throwback to 13 years ago when I started my farrier apprenticeship, (my boss Adam Tighe shaping shoes with me in the back), learning the trade from the ground up!
This career has been full of challenges, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. I love the variety each day brings, the satisfaction of helping horses with problem feet, and, of course working with my favourite animals.
It’s a job that keeps me learning and growing every day! Very grateful to be able to do what I love 🤙
