Don’t forget the basics!!!! Here’s a horse that I saw for the first time, a jumper with no lameness issues. Most the time I request a set radiograph before and after shoeing when I work on a horse for the first time. Notice the 5 degree negative palmar angle on the right front, most the time you correct it with a proper trim as you can see on the radiograph bellow that after the trim we accomplish a 2 degree positive PA and the Pastern Axis alignment have improved also and the foot has remained with about 12mm sole depth after trim. A Nanric full rocker shoe was applied to the foot just to increase a better break over at the toe and keep the foot with a positive Pa and good Pastern Axis through the 5 weeks shoeing cycle!

Here's a horse that was presented to me by a great veterinary Dr Amanda Lawson of Texas Equine Hospital, horse had very deep and infected abscess at the dorsal aspect of coronary band, abscess was open and some the wall was removed and pack with felt and sugardine with firm pressure ,bandage was changed every 2 days until the area start to dry and start to healing . A Morrison sigafoos glue on shoe was applied until the horse became sound and the abscess was completely gone, After 8 months the dorsal aspect of hoof wall was 95% heeled we removed the shoe and keep the broodmare barefoot and sound!

Great club foot case with De Cillo Equine Clinic, horse was present at the De Cillo Equine Clinic very very lame ,and was diagnosed with laminitis and recommended euthanasia by the two previous vets!
X-rays was taken at De Cillo Equine Clinic and further evaluation with dr de Cillo and us was made. Conclusion was , that it is only a grade 2 ,to grade 3 club foot with no sole and has been a few abscess in the pass due to thin sole! Aggressive mechanics was applied on a rocker rail shoe to increase the break over on the front of the foot and unload the DDF Tendon and increase the sole depth sole this horse could be came a performance horse again! This horse have improved tremendously after 6 months of shoeing with the rocker rail glue on. After the sole depth was incredible increased and the palmer angle stay the same as the begging ,the horse was sound and we started to use the Morrison sigafoos glue on shoe so the horse could go back to work !

Great case from Monday at Equine Sports Medicine & Surgery. Horse with with a displacement of the coffin bone post an injury to the opposite front feet. A derotation trim a shoe was applied to the foot and a DDF ( Deep Digital Flexor Tendon) Tenotomy surgery was performed to realign the coffin bone parallel to de ground. The goals with the derotation shoe and DDF Tenotomy surgery is to stop the rotation with realignment of the coffin bone to the ground to reperfuse the blood supply around coffin bone and to increase the sole depth and give a second chance to the horse to live a quality life! The sooner you can do this procedure then less vascular supply damage the foot will have and a better chance to recovery without a lot damage they will have!! We will follow up here with pictures as we go with this case

Chronic toe crack repair, with a rocker toe rail
Shoe!
The rail shoe with a rocker toe allows the foot to have a slightly positive Palmer angles with a break over behind the apex of the frog and that it will help take some of the stress on the toe crack and the lacing with the patch it will help stabilize the crack also.
