This is how I relax after a day of working with horses 😂 I take my own ponies out for a variety of adventures 🦄 these are a few of the things I got up to in 2021.

Giving my old pony Misty a bit of a trim up.
I got this pony when we were both just 8yrs old.
She’s been sold, bought back and loaned out over the years.
I’m happy to have her home forever after now 🦄

A good Visual representation of how the structures in the foot operate

“The fundamental reason that we shoe our horses is to improve their wellbeing and usefulness. Each hoof is in a continuous state of change through deformation, growth and wear, and to counteract these actions, we can upon the skill of farrier to redress the hoof’s balance with the aim of creating a conditional equilibrium. “

This weekends cold and wild weather was a great opportunity for me to get our young horses in for a trim up.

It’s important to keep their feet properly trimmed as they have a lot of growing to do.

Making sure they have well balanced hooves gives them the best chance to grow up strong and healthy.

This horse has a history of good strong feet and has always had his feet done regularly but in the last couple of months with this crazy weather they have become brittle, shelly and breaking away making it impossible to keep his shoes on.
To combat this issue we have repaired his hoof wall with equilox hoof glue which will provide his feet with some strength and support to encourage strong hoof growth.
If you ever have problem with your horses feet don’t be afraid to discuss it with your farrier!
