Well this brightened up the end of my week - it’s lovely to hear when your horses are doing well!😊

2 lessons here…
1. Time is often the greatest healer.
2. Doing your homework (be it packing, booting, diet etc.) really does work!

But also, as I said to this lovely owner, remember the hard work you’re putting in too (especially in the depths of winter when you are soaked through and covered in mud!)

You get out what you put in🫶🏻

3 very different sets of feet yesterday morning…

1️⃣ First trim for Shire X mare Rosie.
Rosie is 18yo with suspected neurological issues so has struggled with hoofcare. Due to her loss of balance/proprioception, Rosie has a strong lateral loading, plaiting all 4 feet underneath her. This has created some distortion in her hooves, resulting in struggles with flare and cracks/chips.
Rosie coped amazingly! Im sure we’ll see some improvement in her feet.

2️⃣ Routine trim for 27yo pony Dyno.
Dyno has PPID, but is now very well managed and I’m thrilled with how his hooves are looking coming out of winter. Dyno is fit as a fiddle, and still enjoys occasional ridden work with his little human!

3️⃣ Routine trim for Warmblood Freddie.
Freddie’s hooves have improved so much over the last year or so I’ve seen him. We started with very under run, contracted and generally very weak feet. He now experiences no ground sensitivity and has a varied life of hacking, jumping and general riding club activities! Superb!

Variety keeps things interesting!😁

NOTICE

Due to an increase in missing/late payment I am now going to have to insist that all payments are made on the day of your appointment.

No one likes the awkward payment chasing messages - plus, they take a lot of time too.

If you do have payments outstanding, PLEASE can they be cleared asap.

Cash is preferred, but bacs details are at the bottom of every report you receive.

Thanks guys🙂

I am thrilled to announce that I am now a fully qualified Equine Podiatrist - holding a level 5 Lantra accredited diploma in Equine Podiatry.

What a journey… 3 years of blood, sweat and (many) tears!
A massive thank you to everyone involved in the past three years, from cadavers to case studies I have learnt so much and met some lovely horses and people along the way.
None of this would’ve been possible without my amazing mentor Emma Baker; Equine Podiatry DEP MEPA who has given me endless support through the ups and downs, reminding me as Jayne said “it will all be fine”💞
And I suppose the biggest thank you of all goes to my darling girl Poppy, who began this journey for me all those years ago in 2018.

Here’s to a lifetime of helping and learning from these incredible animals, the privilege is mine❤️

Repair Horn📢

This is a great example of how the hoof lays down repair horn to maximise functionality when needed…
This RH belongs to a lovely section D called Layla.
As well as removing her front shoes, we found this repair horn over an old bar abscess on her RH.

Her owners were slightly confused and worried about what they were looking at on her hoof…
The abscess has blown off the bar and severely destabilised her medial heel.
The quickly produced repair horn has covered all of our usual landmarks…
It extends from her frog, covering the collateral groove, bar, seat of corn…
Although she’s been left without much bar material, once trimmed we managed to preserve some heel for her.

A hoof perfectly doing hoof things!

❗️Important reminder - just because the grass isn’t there, doesn’t mean they aren’t eating it!!

This is a section from my grass track, and as you can see from the surrounding grass, it’s definitely been growing! My horses have been on their track overnight for approx 3 weeks.

If your field looks like this - it’s likely because your horses have eaten it all!🌾

As always, management and balance are key!☺️✔️
