Time for a bit of a rant…. Long overdue.
My wife and I have helped a large number of laminitic horses. The number of successful cases runs into the hundreds. We have sadly lost 6. Every horse we have lost is due to uninformed old school veterinary advise of putting heart bars on a laminitic foot. For f&@$ sake don’t do it. UNLOAD THE HOOF WALL IMMEDIATELY and apply boots and pads. The quicker this is done the better the prognosis.
If you catch the laminitis really early then cryotherapy is the go. BUT STILL UNLOAD THE GODDAMN HOOF WALL.
Even blind Eddy can see that attaching anything to a hoof wall that is no longer stable is completely dumb, yes, after unloading the hoof wall the horse will be on its sole, frog and bars…. That’s why the go to are boots and pads and a soft conforming surface.
See the self explanatory photos below.
We are sick and tired of being the last option when the archaic traditional garbage has failed.
Come on folks….. use your common sense.
Sorry for the rant, but the next person that brings me a laminitic horse to fix that has had heart bars and wedges applied….. I will be tempted to shove the shoes up their fundamental or***ce, sideways and without removing the nails.

Yes, I am frustrated 😣
