Overreach boots!

These are essential for turnout - especially after the Great British weather we've been having. Adding a layer of protection allows your farrier to shoe for hoof health not just a muddy field.

A piece of rubber/neoprene vs. A 500kg horse, galloping full pelt, doing mud gymnastics may not stop them from pulling a shoe but they certainly will protect from cuts, nicks, slips and missteps and can save a lot of unnecessary shoe loss and damage that comes with that.

Overreach boots work best when -
✅ They cover the entire back of the foot
✅ Cover the sides of the foot
✅ Are a snug fit
✅ Have secure fastenings
✅ Don't rub
✅ The horse can still move freely
✅ Sausage boots can be a good alternative for hind limbs
✅ Double up if you need to
✅ Check them daily for breakages and rubbing
✅ Always have a spare pair!

Ps. If your horse loses overreach boots frequently - good! They're doing their job. They're a great investment!

⚒️Holiday⚒️

It’s that time of year again where I dare to take a week off 🙈🤣 I will be away from Friday 27th September and back to work on Tuesday 8th October.

I will have cover during this time for emergencies so I will provide details of their contact details nearer the time. But as always please bear in mind they will also be busy with their usual rounds so it will be just for genuine emergencies.

If you need to book in for when I am back please message me on my business page and I can sort out bookings for you. However this coming week and the week I am back I have limited availability.

As usual thank you all for your continued support

Regular farrier appointments aren't a luxury, they are a necessity for your equine companion's lifelong welfare.

❔Did you know❔
Every extra 1cm of toe length results in -
🔹an extra 50KG of force acting on the tendons
🔹a -1° drop in sole angle where the DDFT inserts into the coffin bone can lead to a 4% increase in the pressure exerted by the DDFT on the navicular bone

🐴Hickstead🐴

Hi all, this week is my first Hickstead week, so I will be unavailable from Tomorrow (19th) till Sunday (23rd) so please message me only if you need to contact me regarding anything you need.

Please call me if it’s an emergency and I will do my best to then get to you but it will likely be late in the evening as it’s a full day at the show ground.

Thank you all as always
Michael
