☔️As we are still in the wet season, we’re seeing an increase in hoof issues such as seedy toe which is caused by an anaerobic bacteria thrives in damp environments, so early management is important.

The best approach is to:
• Remove as much affected hoof as can be done safely, allowing air to reach the area.
• Apply bluestone (copper sulphate) mixed with water.
This solution helps absorb into the hoof capsule & assists in killing the remaining anaerobic bacteria within the hoof🐴.

☀️Regular farrier visits, good drainage, and keeping hooves as clean & dry as possible will go a long way in preventing ongoing issues.

If you have any concerns about your horse’s hooves, feel free to get in touch🤙

As everyone’s competition seasons are winding down, we are spending a bit more time in the forge making shoes to restock for next year 🤙

Not every horse needs a handmade shoe but I take a lot of pride in this part of the trade - making sure every horse is balanced to perform at their best 🐴

🐴 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 🔍 🤙

I will need about a week’s notice depending on area – when you reach out, please let me know your
🗺️ Location

👠and what you’re after so I can fit you in.

Thanks everyone for your patience & all the well wishes while I was getting married – really appreciate it 🤙

🐴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 ⏱️.

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.🦶🐎
