How do you feel about the practice of nailing on a horseshoe?
Ensuring a good fit and nailing on this horse’s hoof involves an intricate understanding of anatomy. Here’s another outstanding example of how a horse should feel comfortable and stand calmly for the farrier.
🛁 Can you hear Bonnie taking a bath in the water trough? 🙈🐶

🐾🐶Bella & Bonnie🐶🐾
Yes, they’ve probably eaten the yard cat food. And the carrots. They are also partial to horse treats.
If you’re first call of the day, I apologise for Bella inevitably taking a massive poo. She doesn’t like to go in her own stable. 💁♀️
Bonnie will force her love on you in a very physical, zero personal space awareness, sort of way. 😆

🔥 Perfecting the Fit 🔥
Hot fitting horseshoes ensures a perfect, custom fit 🔥👟 Heating the steel shapes it better to the hoof’s exact contours. Burning it on provides a great fit and seals the hoof wall.
The result? Better alignment, improved durability, and a happier, healthier horse 🐴

🌟 Little hands, big help! 🌟
We prepped Connie the pony with Mustad Comformix ZNO pour-in pads for serious sole protection and Mustad hoof hygiene liquid to keep things extra clean.
My tiny assistant ensuring things are correct! The pony doesn’t nap, but the child does! 😆💖🐴

🐴 Hoof Care Update! 👍 As we transition into busier seasons with tougher terrains, ensuring our equine partners are equipped with the right support is crucial. 🌿🏇
🎥 Catch our latest Reel! We demonstrate the precise application of a frog support pad, vital for maintaining optimal hoof health as our activities ramp up. We ensure there are pads tailored for every type of hoof, guaranteeing all horses get the necessary support.
Why Frog Support Pads? 🌟
* Tailored for Every Hoof: Whether it’s a flatter foot or a more arched hoof, there’s a frog support pad designed to meet that specific need.
* Essential Support for Flatter Feet: Our featured pads are especially beneficial for horses with a bulbous frog, commonly seen with flatter feet.
* Improved Load Distribution: These pads help optimize weight distribution across the hoof, crucial for maintaining balance and function as the ground becomes drier and harder.
* Natural Functioning: Aids in the equine foot’s natural dynamics, preparing your horse for increased activity without compromising comfort.
🛠️ Featured Setup:
* Horseshoes: Mustad LIBero Equilibrium side clipped for a secure and balanced fit.
* Nails: Mustad ESL5 Pitch steel.
* Pads: Michael Puhl flat pads paired with A25 hoof cushion and Artimud, ensuring a solid yet accommodating fit for the frog.
* Enhancements: Tungsten road pins added for extra grip and durability on varied terrains.
👌 Why We Choose This Setup:
This configuration stands as our top choice for its versatility and robustness, suited for a wide range of hoof types. The combination of the Mustad horseshoes with the Michael Puhl pads provides a reliable foundation that prevents excessive frog descent while balancing the load across the hoof.

🌿🐴 Spring Alert: Hoof Abscesses on the Rise! 🐴🌿
As we transition from a wet winter to spring here in the UK, the ground is getting harder, and that can spell trouble for our horses’ hooves. Abscesses are a common issue during this time as horses start to move more on firmer surfaces.
An abscess in a horse’s hoof is an infection trapped between the sensitive structures of the foot and the hoof wall or sole. It’s akin to a painful pressure cooker, as buildup from bacteria and debris causes intense discomfort.
🔍 Signs to Watch:
• Sudden lameness or reluctance to walk
• Increased pulse in the hoof
• Swelling in the affected area
• Heat coming from the hoof
👩⚕️ Treatment:
Prompt attention from your farrier or vet can prevent complications. Treatments may include soaking the foot, poulticing, and sometimes minor trimming to relieve pressure.
Prevention is key:
• Maintain regular hoof care and trimming.
• Keep your horse’s environment clean and dry.
• Monitor their hooves closely during changes in weather and activity.
Don’t let hoof abscesses slow your horse down this spring. If you suspect an abscess, act quickly to keep your equine friend happy and healthy!
