❗️❗️squeamish photos ❗️❗️

BENTLEY

After a few months of on and off lameness and many abscesses later bentley was x-rayed to find a keratoma was present; with the vets thinking that this was initially caused by grit migrating up the hoof wall via the white line. He then went for his keratoma surgery on the 4th December at
A keratoma is a benign tumour within the hoof wall. Although Bentley experienced lameness with his keratoma, some can go unnoticed for years causing no lameness at all.

Since his surgery he has been making incredible progress, with today being his 4th application of clogs. It’s clear to see within the photos just how quickly his hoof wall has grown down. Hopefully soon he will be able to experience some much needed turnout.

DID YOU KNOW...

-for every 1 centimeter of extra toe length- this results in an extra 50 kilograms of force acting on the tendons

-1 degree drop in sole angle where the DDFT inserts into the coffin bone (affected by Palmar Angle) can lead to a 4% increase in the pressure exerted by the DDFT on the Navicular bone

(Credit Dr Renate Weller)

These simple facts highlight how important it is to keep your horses on tight shoeing schedule and receive correct trimming/shoeing to give them a long and successful career.

This big girls heels had begun to run forward and her sole had flattened due to a compensation else were.
A small “onion” style shoe was forged and made at site to achieve correct heel placement and adequately cover and support the heels during the shoeing cycle. By applying a frog support pad with a dental impression material the frog and sole will have the protection and help it needs for compensation and rejuvenation. Aiding in the horses overall comfort.

Bonnie was diagnosed with acute laminitis believed to have been caused by Cushings or EMS.

After X-rays the veterinarian and ourselves decided that “Cloggs” would best support her limbs and feet through this painful disease.

Dental impression material was added over the frog and back of the foot to aid in supporting the bony column and to add some comfort.

Magic cushion is applied to the toe and front of the foot to aid in the decrease of inflammation and promotion of healthy soles for the future.

Cast wraps are then applied to help keep everything in place while she begins to heal.

Bonnie appeared much more comfortable after her “special” shoes had been applied and we are all hoping for a speedy recovery.

Get well soon Bonnie xx

Be vigilant regarding your horses weight and calorie consumption everyone we are seeing a lot of laminitis at the moment prevention is definitely better than cure!!!!!

**** important ****

Unfortunately yesterday Paul took a tumble which has resulted in a broken ankle, obviously this leaves him out of action!
ALL work will be carried out but we may need to have a slight move around with days and times. Everybody will be contacted in due course if it shall affect your appointment. Please be patient with us! And thank you for being understanding!
Thanks, Torran and Paul 🤕

A horse with sheared heels. A straight bar shoe was applied to stabilise the hoof capsule and prevent the independent movement of the heels. Fabricated from the back of the van using Nwt concave 8 and a peace of steel off an old shoe. Recycling at its best 👌👍
