BAREFOOT PERFORMANCE

13/08/2025

A very sad day on Monday saying goodbye to my beautiful mare Kura who was the reason many years ago to start my barefoot journey.

She taught me SO much about feet. High low/ negative plantar angles, rotation and sinking, equine canker, the list goes on. How she made it to 22 is an absolute miracle and was lots of daily work. But she was happy and comfortable until the end, dying with a mouthful of lush long grass.

Sadly she had chronic nephrosplenic entrapment with lots of intestinal inflammation and the decision was made to let her go peacefully.

Rest in peace Kura 💔

To take a horse's digital pulse to check for laminitis, place your middle and ring fingers on the inside of the leg just below the fetlock, applying slight pressure to find the artery. A strong, throbbing pulse, or a pulse that is stronger than normal, especially in both front legs, can be an indicator of inflammation and laminitis.

It was a “tag team” kind of day today at Gordon RDA with Alice doing their teeth and me trimming their feet.

2 very sweet mini Shetlands were in desperate need of a trim today. Unfortunately the hoof capsule on some of the feet were severely distorted, making the after photos look like the heels were not level (look at the heel bulbs to orientate).

Lots of little fluffies to cuddle at Highlands Unbridled today. It was hard to get any trimming done 😍

It’s funny the things I get excited about these days. My last pair lasted me 10 years.

What a lovely surprise to come home to today from an equally lovely customer. That’s just made my day, thank you 🥰
