Often, hooves will show change when they are compensating for weakness in the horses posture. Correct ground work can help your horse massively. Take a look at what Long Drove Holistic Horse Training can do to help improve your horses posture weakness

After being contacted by many who are interested in starting inhand/ground work/improving current skills in this area/rehabilitation work. I’d like to help as many as possible on this journey so am in the process of setting up a groundwork/rehabilitation study group.

This group will focus solely on inhand/groundwork and rehabilitation and will cater for those just starting out or those looking to enhance their current skills. It will be a place you can post videos and receive feedback from me and other members, ask questions and where I will share my knowledge and expertise on these topics. There will be video content of exercises and methods and it will be a community that can help and support one another.

This will be a subscription based group further details to come shortly

If you’re interested in joining once its set up please let me know

💪 Embrace those long toes and the natural healing process 🙏 Nicely said K.R.H Natural horse care

We can all agree, we want to do our best for our horses.
What that looks like is different for everyone.

Social media is a great tool for sharing information. Sometimes there is a lot of conflicting information out there which has left a few owners confused. In that case, I go by studies (if they are avaliable), evidence and proof but also what sits true with me.

I've got a few laminitic cases on my books.
The Internet recently has been bombarded with trimmers sharing posts, for chopping of the toe and against chopping of the toe.

I'm not going to post the science, evidence and proof here because there is already so many posts about it out there that go into loads of detail so instead I will include links for you to read and make your own mind up about what you believe is right, for you and for your equine.

I'm a natural hoof care practitioner and we do not chop the toe. If that's what you are looking for, then I can proudly say, I'm not the lady for you.
(I will happily talk to any one regarding this in a private message ☺️).

I've recently learnt that it's okay to have a difference of opinion and still be friends with some one. Agree to disagree. Perhaps in a case like this there is no right answer? I understand what makes sense to me, may not make sense to you. But ultimately our end goal is still the same and I believe this is what we should be focusing on. A happy healthy horse that never has to face laminitis ever again.

***I'm not promoting toe chopping, I'm adding the link purely for people to see both sides and for them to make an informed decision ***

Does Laminitis Recovery really need shoes??

Diet, Management, a Natural Trim, and a little extra comfort and support with well fitting hoof boots.💪

We love these Equine Fusion Boots... We also have the FULL Equine Fusion Fit Kit available for fittings...🥰

It's not just about the trim, it's also important to take the time to build a trusting relationship with each horse and pony...
