Very worthwhile!

Missed out on Black Friday deals? Stringer Equine Veterinary Surgeons bring you (and your Farrier) 'Foot Balance Friday' throughout December! Speak to your farrier, and give our office a call on 01647 231246 if you want to book in.

We've all heard 'no foot no horse', but the equine hoof is a complex thing, and the external appearance does not always reflect the condition of the internal structures. This is where foot balance radiographs can be really useful, allowing your horses farrier to compare what they can see on the outside to X-ray images and adapt their trimming accordingly, if indicated, to support a healthy hoof and comfortable horse 🐴

If your farrier or trimmer has ever suggested foot balance x-rays would be of benefit to your horse now is the time to get them taken. Images will be sent to your farrier and a conversation between vet and farrier to discuss the images taken is always possible.

Yes we love trot poles, leave them in your arena and pop over them every day!!

𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗶𝗽 - 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀

Trot poles encourage your horse to push equally from behind, and are an excellent exercise for developing an equal stride length and for improving symmetry, straightness and coordination.

𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝟭.𝟮 - 𝟭.𝟳𝗺 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁

To negotiate trot poles sucessfully requires increased momentum, flexion of all the limb joints, power and spring.

We love walk poles, good for all horses 🙌

𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗶𝗽 - 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀

Walking your horse over a series of poles (set at a distance of 0.7-1m apart) is good for:
✅ Improving rhythm
✅ Strength
✅ Control
✅ Developing back rotation
✅ Lateral flexion

Walk poles can also help stop jogging or an irregular or lateral walk.
