So my van will be off the road for a while ( engine failed 😣)

Thankfully I’ve got some great friends that have helped me out.

Thanks Edward Dailly for lending me your van for the early part of the week.

Cheer Ryan Ford DipWcf for helping me get through some work.

Thankyou Jason Baggs for helping me fit my truck out so I can keep working till my van is back on the road.

Will be back full flow to work Monday so please text or leave a message and I’ll get you booked in asap

I’m off out of the country and will be back to work on the 15th June. Whilst I’m away these very kind farriers will be covering my round. If you have any problems please contact them, my work phone is turned off.

Please remember they have their own businesses to attend to so I suggest a serious amount of bribery will help to get them out to help you.
Beer
Chocolate/cakes
Lots of money
All these will encourage them to help you as quickly as they can.

Hope you all have a great couple of weeks.
See you when I’m back.

Old infection growing down causing weakness and distortion to the hoof capsule. Added to that the horse had an injury on the opposite leg so is predominately weight bearing on the bad foot aswell. With a bit of investigation to see the full damage of the infection and with the extra weight compression I decided to put a bar shoe on for extra support, along side with some hoof putty and glue to rebuild the damaged area.

Rain - I know we need it, but our horses don't!

A word of warning - the rain on our water starved grass is super charging it with sugar, and as a consequence, we are seeing a flurry of laminitis and colic cases.

Please monitor how much grazing your horses and ponies are getting - the fields look bare but they are eating the sugar rich new growth.

Track systems, strip grazing and grazing muzzles can all help reduce grass intake.
Periods off grazing on hard standing or stabled with hay can reduce risks of problems too.

Check those crests! A firming up of crests on the fat/insulin resistant horses and ponies can be an early warning sign for laminitis.

Important information to all my customers

My work phone number has been cloned.

If you have messaged me this week I have most likely not received it. And I’ve had the phone put to factory settings which has deleted all messages.

So I will have to change my number. I’m in the process of sorting this right now.

I will text you from the new number when it’s sorted.

I will also put the new number here.

I will be off work as of the 12th February and back to work 22nd

My phone will be switched off.

If you call me during that time on my answer machine there will be names and numbers of farriers covering for me.
