Ode to the great client

This gentleman has been in my care for a few years.
He's had laminitis a couple of times travelling
He's got ringbone, sidebone, navicular disease, coffin joint arthritis.
Bone spavin and sacro problem's on record.
Fractured P3 on this foot.

His owner loves him as much as I do , so proud for getting her an Australian Flag on her jacket 🙏

We are still looking after him through his retirement year's.

I can honestly say I have never shod this foot so technically correct as young Mitchell did today.
Well done mate

I hope I get a few resets out of the handmade stock shoes !

Resetting some of Mitchell's 1x3/8 , toe clipped, three quarter fullered handmade shoes today.
Checking for basics.
+ AP balance
+ Perimeter fit copying the coronary band/coffin bone shape
+ Nailing forward of the widest part/arch in weight bareing section of wall
+ Wall integrity by only dorsal dressing below the nail line

Traditional Farriery is hard to learn how to do.

I got lucky he set her up for me last visit while I was away 💪😎

My heart felt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of Mitchell's apprenticeship that concludes at the end of the year.
He has been to Western Australia to compete and learn from some of the best farriers on the planet four years in a row.
The Western Australian Farrier Association has been instrumental in bringing Clinicians and Judges from around the globe. Truly world class.
We ventured over to support him in his last competition as an apprentice and stepping up to Intermediate division.
Well done to all involved.
Thank you 🙏

In 1996 I was ready to take over the world as a farrier.
I thought I knew more than most.
I remember the narrative about breakover limiting strain on the DDFT. Especially on the long low TB hoof.
I had a yearling filly with a high low confirmation.
I thought if I extend breakover, I could recondition the DDFT muscle memory and make that hoof strand up under strain.
It was a theory.
Today I made a similar shoe for a Facebook farrier challenge.
My second one, as my theory was not good on the pool sample size ✌️🇦🇺

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....💪✌️🇦🇺
