‼️🚨Twisted shoe or loose shoe ?🚨‼️

Horse shoes can sometimes become twisted or loose on the foot.
This can be very dangerous. Your horse could step on a nail or clip and injure themselves further.

So, it’s a good idea for all horse owners to know how to safely remove a shoe themselves.

If you ask your farrier before your next appointment, they will allow enough time to show you how to do this on your own horse in case of an emergency. You can buy the best on the market shoe removal tools from www.theshoekit.co.uk which even come with step by step instructions!!

Maintaining a regular farrier schedule helps:
1. Keep hooves balanced
2. Prevent stress of tendons and joints
3. Decrease the risk of hoof problems
4. Promote comfort

In April 2020, this horse had a keratoma surgically removed. The owner, vet & I have been working hard to keep him as comfortable as possible since the op. I have adapted the shoes & materials used to best accommodate the different stages of the process & as you can see it has paid off! I really enjoy this type of work & helping a horse recover makes all the work worth while!

Horse shod today, before and after photos.... Regained symmetry and level foot fall, landing and loading. Normal hoof pastern axis, I hope to get the ridges out of the feet in the next few shoeings 😁

A message to my clients.

During these difficult times I am following the advice of the FRC and the WCF, and of course the government.

At present I will continue to shoe as normal and honour appointments booked in. Please be patient if i need to make changes so to accommodate everyone. I may, where possible try and bring appointments forward if a total lockdown is imminent.

As long as your horse isn’t dangerous I’m happy to help myself as long as they are in the stable and easily accessible and good to catch. I will be following the social distancing guidelines and expect my clients to do the same. There is no need for me to have any human contact or close interaction when going about my daily round.

Until it is illegal for me to carry on my business I will on the grounds of animal welfare. If I develop symptoms of course I will have to stop for a while.

All the best and stay safe.

*** Corona virus ***

Not wanting to join in or add to the mass panic. However if you’ve been anywhere more exotic than Truro and have failed to wash you hands properly whilst singing happy birthday, and you think you’re not feeling 100%. Then it might be worth while giving me the heads up, I’ll continue to avoid the majority of human race and aim to keep calm and keep shoeing.

- Horses can be left in or healthy friends or relatives can assist.
- payments can be made by bacs, disinfected cash or cheques left with the GGs
- unfortunately toilet roll and hand sanitiser are not considered legal tender for now
- keep washing those hands

Remember people, keep calm and I’m sure the we will all prevail.

Any concerns don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Good luck
