This a great photo , how many horse owners and trainers actually realise how close the hind foot and the front come together , then add soft ground , uneven ground , unbalanced rider and or a lazy horse into the equation , no wonder the odd shoe gets pulled (wrenched) off occasionally

Farriers are professionals of a special breed: they work hard for the better of the horse and - when someone is in trouble - they are always willing to help :-) Enjoy our new Christmas animated video with our best wishes of a Happy Christmas and an amazing 2018!

Hoof W, this was a hoof that I studied with a team of 5 like minded women, last weekend at a dissection workshop held at my place. This video focused on the wa...ll crack but there was something much more sinister going on. Edit- I have now researched this further and discussed this case with barefoot trimmers, a couple of farriers and I now learn that the hole in the toe is called seedy toe or white line disease. It is not thrush, so I apologise for this error in terminology. This was an unscripted video and was my own personal observations. My intention was not to mislead anyone. I have also been made aware that this is a very common condition and that it may not need to be treated, and the farrier or vet would advise, accordingly. The farrier, vet or barefoot trimmer would have noticed this and they may have made the professional call not to treat it. We are only seeing one small part of the puzzle, just this foot. We can't always make assumptions on this. There are many other variables and factors involved, like, diet, hoof care, weather, seasons, and these all play their part in the condition of hooves. The hooves I study, I don't always get a history. They are just a tiny part of the puzzle but I hope by sectioning, you will be able to learn with me as I share my journey with you.

THE MISSING HOOF (- warning some of these images show blood) One of our ambulatory vets was called to examine a horse on a yard that had somehow managed to rip... the lower section of its' hoof off. On examination a large section of the hoof was missing revealing the pedal bone. The vet that attended, cleaned the area thoroughly and applied a supportive bandage for the horse to be travelled to the clinic. Once at the clinic, the foot was closely inspected and the pedal bone of the foot was significantly exposed. Our local farrier was contacted to assist us in making a supportive cast. With help from a friendly joiner a wooden cast was made and the lower section filled with antibiotic soaked swabs to help reduce any likely infection. A wooden base layer was screwed onto the cast which allowed easy access for our ambulatory team of vets to visit the horse regularly, change the swabs and monitor the site closely. One month later, the hoof has grown dramatically well and we are due to remove the wooden support fully in the next coming weeks. This case shows that good team work between different job roles and sometimes thinking outside of the box ensures a great outcome for the horse.

You get what you deserve..
