Just packing the little human's essentials ready for Northern Horse Park Lakes & Craters International Horse Trials 🤣

02/12/2024

It's a short working week this week as we prepare to head down to Northern Horse Park Lakes & Craters International Horse Trials mid week.

While it might be a shorter working week, we still have:
A big bunch of trims
Multiple shoeings
Laminitic cases
Crack repairs
And new clients to meet

We are looking forward to participating for four days as the event farriers. Hopefully we won't be too busy but we are here for any competitors that need us.

We will still be contactable during our standard business hours but obviously no usual bookings will be conducted while we are away.

We are down to our final 4 working weeks of 2024 😱

We will be finishing up on December 20th and reopening on January 8th.

Our schedule gets really tight from now as we shuffle bookings to accommodate us having some time off. But we do still have availability for new clients that fall within our travel area.

For our Thursday's at Ballarat Equine Clinic, we only have three dates left:
- November 28th
- December 12th
- December 19th

So here is your friendly reminder that if you want to book in with us before the end of the year, now is the time to reach out!

Our first few weeks back in the new year are chaotic, so please don't wait get your horses booked in.

Looking forward to our second year as the event farriers at Northern Horse Park Lakes & Craters International Horse Trials.

We will have our usual display filled with different shoes, materials, books and display pieces. And we will be there for the whole event should you need a horse shod or a shoe fixed up. Hopefully no crazy weather this time!

Well the count down is officially on!! 18 days until our competition kicks off🤩
This year we have the wonderful Allied Farriers attending for the weekend should you need any last minute help🧲

⚠️ ‼️⚠️

We have seen numerous cases of laminitis this season. From acute cases being managed and back on the road to recovery to chronic and extreme cases not having a happy outcome.

Laminitis is the second biggest killer after colic and is nothing to ignore. It is a serious condition that requires swift and thorough action from your horse's professional team and follow up for many months to come.

We do our best from a farriery perspective but without owner diligence, cases can turn from subtle to severe incredibly fast.

Please have your horse's management as strict and as functional as possible. Help us to reduce the risk and severity of Laminitis. It is crippling for them and distressing for owners and all involved. All breeds can be affected, not just ponies.

Please help us spread the word!

Shh don't tell anyone we had to work on the weekend, but at least we got to do some fun stuff.
Direct glued aluminium shoes with a smaller footprint to improve the mechanics of the feet. Pink impression material for heel and caudal support and casting on-top to provide protection and stability.
Lets hope this fella likes the package!

So my optimism to catch up on admin was short lived 😅

I am currently a week behind on all my admin duties due to a very cranky, clingy and teething toddler.

If you have reached out, awaiting an invoice etc I am not ignoring or have forgotten you. I'm just a little stressed trying to keep up with life at the moment. I will get back to everyone as soon as I can. Send help! 🤪

I can't imagine a better place to catch up on admin 🥰☀️💻🗓️

Experimenting with the Easyshoe Speed today. A glue on fully composite shoe with built in frog support. Grinding in a more aggressive rolled toe to ease breakover with a thicker shoe that is not easily set back off the toe. Added pink Glu U dim to maximise solar support and to stop rocks and muck getting stuck under the shoe. Super easy and fun to glue on.

What are your thoughts? A new shoe to added to the existing Allied range 🤔
