When your farrier asks for annual radiographs, it’s not because we want you to spend money, or because we aren’t very good… we ask you to do so because sometimes there’s problems lurking that we couldn’t ever be aware of, and rather than be reactive. We are trying to be proactive for you and your animal.
This horse is a prime example… horse is and has been sound for several years, when these radiographs were taken, the amount of ossification of the collateral cartilages as mind boggling!
It also gave us a shoeing prescription that should keep this horse going than it would have without the radiographs…
We all work as a team and preventative maintenance is wayyy cheaper than chasing a problem after it’s occurred!
Signed- your farrier
