Let's continue our Boot conversation in this week's 🐴 This boot goes by many different names, including a Brushing Boot, Dressage Boot, or Splint Boots. This versatile boot works for many different disciplines and riding styles. It simply wraps around the cannon bone, protecting it from brushing or interference.

To get the right size, you want to measure the circumference and length of the cannon bone. They often come in small, medium, and large sizes. When getting the right fit, you want to ensure it isn't too tall and interferes with the knee or fetlock. If the boot is too small, you won't be able to get the boot around the leg comfortably.

⭐️Fun Fact: Typically, the hind legs will take a larger size as the cannon bone is longer than the front legs.

What a day 🫠😪 We got most of the water all cleaned up and fans and dehumidifiers running. Thankfully there wasn’t a top of products that got wet, as mostly everything is hanging or above ground anyways. Just a really annoying, unpleasant event. ☔️ It looks like it was ground water from the back of the building that worked its way in. Hopefully it has been remedied. 🤞

I also wanted to take the time to say thank you. Thank you for all the messages, the calls, the show ups to help. I greatly appreciate it. This community means the world to me and I am so thankful for each and every one of you. ❤️ We will be closed ish on Thursday as we clean, reorganize and figure out our next steps. I am hopeful we won’t be closed too long. Again fingers crossed. 🤞

- Rain, Rain, Go Away ☔️

Caring for horses on the West Coast presents unique challenges, especially with the high levels of moisture. Hoof abscesses are common in these conditions as excess moisture can soften the hooves, making them more susceptible to bacteria that can lead to painful infections. If your horse develops an abscess, you may notice sudden and severe lameness until it bursts and drains. 🚨 Important note: If you suspect an abscess, consult both your farrier and vet.

To help bring an abscess to the surface, soaking the hoof in warm water with Epsom salts is a tried-and-true method. While using a bucket is traditional, not all horses are keen on standing still. That’s where a soaker boot can be a game-changer! These fully waterproof boots allow you to soak or medicate your horse's hoof safely and are meant for use under supervision—not for turnout.

We currently have two soaker boots available on consignment! Need help choosing the right products for treating a hoof abscess? I'm here to help, but remember to always follow up with your vet and farrier—they’re the experts!

We will Remember. ❤️🕊

Today, we pause to remember and reflect and express our gratitude to the brave men and women who served to protect our freedom, including the countless animals who also gave their lives—horses, donkeys, mules, dogs, and others who faithfully served on the front lines.

These animals were often unsung heroes, their courage and loyalty contributing in ways words cannot express. The millions of horses who perished on battlefields remind us of the selfless role they’ve played throughout history. Today, let us honor all who have served—both human and animal—and give thanks for their sacrifices.

As a reminder, we will be closed to participate in our local ceremonies.
