My wife got me a Ryan Harris-Hayes forging hammer for our anniversary, bless her cotton socks.
I finally gave her a run on a french hind, no marker off the hammer.
It runs lovely. I had to put a wrap on the handle to soak up the sweat.
We are getting more quickly dehydrated at work.
Your horses are out in it like those of us without airconditioning 🙏
Dehydration causes all sorts of postural alignment issues.
And the surfaces are rock hard. Concussive.

New horse for us.
Has been under the care of a barefoot trimmer last eighteen months.
Dr Jess recommended 3 degree 3 D pads set back to ease breakover and build heel along with sole depth.
Looking for a positive palmer angle.

Mitchell won a box of Mustad Hammer Head nails at a competition.
They compliment the Concord Steel Plate nicely on this little pony.
Sponsorship is great for those of us competing.
And new advances can be great for our industry overlapping with tradition 💪✌️

My last post caused some discomfort among some following my page.
These are some pictures so I can explain the process.
Fit the coronary band.
It is a copy of the Distal Phalanx.
The shoe is a wear plate.
Not one person who had interaction with the post asked why.
They had a smart crack about what I did wrong.
Those people are no longer viewing my education posts.
I don't need to share, after all !?
My clients trust me or they don't have me.
Have a great few days my friends as I'm doing.
Mitch has been covering for me while I treat my long suffering wife to a wedding anniversary holiday.
28 years of suffering....💪✌️🇦🇺

Using the Bob Marshall style heel to make sure the hook of an upright hoof is covered. Also a little extra surface area.
Massalotte clip to allow for more resets, with a slight set toe for ease of break.

"When you surround yourself with winners, you have the right to become one!"
Mitch and myself have had a great year competing.
These competitions give us access to more skills.
The judges, the fellow competitors, the different environments.
The tireless committee's make these events possible.
As we head to the end of Mitchell's apprenticeship, it's fair to say I'm proud of his achievements.
I'm also very proud of everyone who has helped with his journey 💪🏆

A really great weekend at Ekka 2025.
Mitchell in open competition in the Novice division picked up the Shoeing and High point buckle.
His young kiwi mate from across the ditch won the pre-novice division.
My Korean Team friends, who have been coming to get tuned up pre competition at our shop for three years all got placings in their forging classes.
I'm very proud of the industry.
My friend Robert Jukes gave the lads a private clinic Wednesday, which I'm sure helped hone all involved for Thursday -Sunday.
Onwards and upwards 💪🍀

This Quarter horse has been diagnosed with Navicular Disease.
Limited amount of work. Been barefoot until now.
8 inches of inch square Ali rockers.
Allows elevation at rest, while allowing the back of the hoof to land heel first during movement.
This type of shoe works best on firm substrate, not muddy or sandy ground.
Had only been trimmed a week prior to shoeing.

Laminitis is a dreadful disease.
Keeping this sweet aged pony comfortable with load sharing offered by the use of heartbars.
Often with chronic laminitic the rotation of P3 leads to demineralisation of the tip . Pedal oestitis.
The lamellar connection is compromised allowing invasion of anaerobic bacteria. Often called seady toe.
That is evident by the missing portion at the front of the hoof pictured.
The key to this style of shoeing is to know the internal anatomy of the hoof, so as to get the loading and fit correct without x-ray

Young Farriers in the making working together.
Respect among our industry starts at grass roots.
Had a great morning sharing the passion.
Whether it be developing a swing making hoof picks, running a fuller so you can fit the Whiteline or concave caulkin and wedge 💪😎
