First trim on this young man! I think he was quite curious but had lovely manners thanks to his wonderful owner who has spent many hours over the past month picking his hooves up every day to prepare him for a trim. Regular repetition of a task is a very important tool in training horses and helps to make my job easier and safer.

Looking for a companion pony!
Bit of a different post but one of my lovely clients is looking for a companion pony or possibly even a goat for her little gelding. Comment or pm me if you know anyone and I’ll get you in touch ☺️

These pictures are a perfect visual of what might actually be going on inside your horses hoof when they have a tiny crack that just never ‘grows out’

Foals thrive on the nutritionally rich spring grass, but adult horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) may develop pasture laminitis because sugars are high at this time. Clover and alfalfa in pastures are also dangerous to EMS animals as both sugar and starch can be high.

Multiple studies have documented that approximately 90% of laminitis cases are caused by elevated insulin and insulin elevations are the only predictor of which horses will develop laminitis. Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, Warmbloods, Quarterhorses and purebred Drafts are at low risk of EMS but may develop elevated insulin if they have PPID, aka Cushing’s Disease. Pregnant mares of any breed also become insulin resistant in the last half of pregnancy. Examples of breeds at high risk of EMS include ponies, minis, donkeys, Arabians, Morgans, Haflingers, Icelandics and Paso Finos.

Insulin blood tests will identify most horses at risk of pasture laminitis. If the horse has high insulin there is really no safe way to allow grazing these high-risk spring pastures, as it has been shown that horses given limited grazing time will eat as much as 3 times faster to make up for it.

Many people are understandably resistant to the idea of keeping their at-risk horses off pasture, but you have to ask yourself what would you rather have — grass access or laminitis and the smoldering damage it causes. The good news about EMS is that exercise is the best way to control it, so saddle up and you will probably be able to treat your Metabolic Syndrome horse to some grass after work!

As always, contact your veterinarian for more information and for any questions specific to your horse’s situation. To read more about spring grass, see: https://wp.me/p2WBdh-op . For detailed information on Equine Metabolic Syndrome and its diagnosis, visit: www.ecirhorse.org.

Thank you Dr. Eleanor Kellon Vmd for sharing these important facts about spring grass and horses affected by EMS!

Lots of fun and ribbons came from the past few competition weekends for Jillian and her star barefoot pony Fabio! From show jumping to dressage and even cross country there’s nothing this brilliant duo can’t conquer! Fabio competes barefoot and both trains and travels in the float in Cavallo hoof boots.

I’ve been barefoot trimming this gorgeous pony for nearly two years. I measured him up for boots early on and training in them has allowed him to build a tougher sole to keep him comfortable while competing.

Exciting news: I have discovered that Guardian Horse Products is an online stockist for the elusive Sole Cleanse spray! And a big positive - it’s in stock!

Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year 🎄

PRICE INCREASE - Maintenance trims only

Dear clients, from the 1st of October 2021 there will be a slight price increase on maintenance trims from $45 to $50.

Some miniature horses/ ponies that only require a quick trim will remain at a lower price as is discussed individually.

I will endeavour to continue letting each of you know in person during the remainder of this month.

Different hooves for different climates, this is a great visual and explanation!
