Lostford Equine Rehabilitation

20/12/2024

Just a few horses to see early next week before 2024 is wrapped up in what has been a very successful year. My book “The Hoofcare Companion” really took off and is now sold in 26 countries. I have been able to provide CPD and lectures for Vets and Farriers which I thoroughly enjoy, being able to share my experiences and discuss options for the horses we care for.
I have also started as an assessor for the End Point Assessment of farriery apprentices, it is great seeing the new generation coming through!

If you are a follower of this page, you will have seen countless examples of hoof rehabilitation and I hope you have found the posts useful and educational.

Interesting read !! 🐎

Asymmetrical whorls

When assessing horses before euthanasia I try to be as thorough as possible, gathering information is a huge part of the process. Something I have noted in a number of the ECVM cases I’ve seen is whorls on the pectoral muscles that don’t match. The theory is that whorls form in relation to the tissue below it.

This guy was certainly asymmetrical and you can also note the rib cage rotation in both the points of the shoulder and the sternum sitting to his left side. In fact he was so destabilised that his p***s symphysis was completely unfused at over 8 years old.breaking it in half was easy because there was zero fusion occurring to strengthen the area. This horse had multiple lower hind joint injections that on dissection were relatively clean. The sloppy appearing joints in stifles and hocks were coming from the pelvis in my opinion. He was a well bred 17.2hh warmblood gelding.

To follow his dissection findings he has an album on my patreon page.
