Humble Hooves

Humble Hooves is an alternative approach to your horses hoof care. It has been set up by Anna Curtis who has a diploma in Equine Podiatry.

Humble Hooves provides a regular trimming and monitoring service for your horse's hooves, as prevention is by far better than cure. It is not a 'quick fix'; it should rather be considered as a long-term, lasting solution. The equine podiatry approach has been very successful in treating and managing many conditions and pathologies in the hoof. By using knowledge of anatomy, function and working wi

th the horse's own natural ability to heal, a non invasive, safe and sympathetic treatment plan can be tailored for your horse.

'Equine Podiatry is the study and management of the equine foot based on its anatomy and function.'

Lovely to catch up with my old livery, little Rusty ❤️ although he is no longer with us I still keep up his pedicures 💅

He must be coming up to be 31 now, he is looking fantastic. And doing a wonderful job as companion to his 26 year old girl. In fact I think there relationship status is now official 🥰

My barefoot journey started at thirteen, a beautiful little grey Arabian mare. Sometimes I look back and realise what a profound life changing moment that was, to have her in my life. I will forever be grateful for the years we spent together ❤️

Though she is no longer with me she's up there in good company. This year so far has been the hardest, for horses lost.

Good, much loved horses have crossed over. Leaving a hole behind that will never fully heal. To our lost friends who's memories shape us ⚘️🪻🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵🌸

Had a catch up with this beautiful little lady last week. She has formally retired from her job conservation grazing, after 30 odd years! And is now enjoying life with a bit more TLC. She was an absolute star for her second ever trim and her hooves are just starting to shape up nicely too. 👌

What a cutie 💓

Just back from a fantastic three day whole horse dissection with the world renowned Sharon May-Davis. Amazing opportunity, learning the secrets that lie beneath the skin. Thank you to the little welsh pony Rocket for the gracious gift of being our teacher. 🌷🐴

The reality of horses! 🫣 After all, they are big forage to compost, conversion machines. Currently this lot are processing tons of hay every week. Its all to be scraped up, stored and spread back out on to the fields, when things eventually dry up!
Have to thank Mr H.H for this effort 👌

Lovely little catch up with Dilly today 💕 he's learning how to do all things cob.

Four tons of fresh new sand put down today 💪

Best winter we have got through with this chap! ❄️ Before he was plagued with WLD, abscesses, thin soles, cracks. He also has had a nasty injury to his left hind as a youngster, that has resulted in abnormal growth and a lateral capsule shift.

This year his feet look wonderful 😊 so much so it was time to stop and admire them. 🌟

Changes were a four week trim cycle and a new concrete pad infront of the shelter.

Never underestimate the improvements that can be made with a short trim cycle. Any crack, holes, flares or blemishes in the hoof can be addressed before they cause a problem.

Changing the muddy sharp stone to a smooth concrete base, has also helped tremendously. We now have an area that can be kept clean. The hooves all look much more polished. And the horses can have a break from the mud and wet, giving their feet a chance to dry off.

Thanks to some help from The Hoof Boot Shop we got this older gentleman successfully kitted out. Equine Fusion boots all round and fitted with therapeutic pads. Working together to protect compromised hooves and provide quality of life.

Sometimes you just need a tweak in the right direction to make a big difference.

This lovely chap had overall pretty good hooves, they just needed some TLC and balancing. He was standing beautifully after his trim, great to be able to help him feel comfortable ❤️

Not often I trim one older than myself! This beautiful lady is going to be celebrating her 40th next month 🥳🥕🍏🎂🍾

11/03/2024

Sometime I'm asked what my speciality is...
Well this is it. The oldies, I absolutely adore them 🥰

This little lady made it to over 30 before she had her first trim. What an absolute honour to be able to help keep her comfortable in her later years.

Some much needed sunshine at last. Today was certainly the calm after the storm.

I know the feeling!

Sometimes it's important to remember the past as we step into the future.
Happy new year to all my wonderful clients and horses 🥂

23/12/2023

That's me done for the year. Thank you so much to all my wonderful clients old and new. I've been utterly spoilt this Christmas 🍷

It's been a hell of a year, with lots of interesting hooves and difficult cases.

All changes in the yard too. We have said goodbye to Sunny who has a wonderful new home to retire too. Hello to Dave, the most lovely grey who lives for a cuddle and a scratch. Goodbye to my little cob Dilly, who has found a job and an amazing new family.

More hooves trimmed than ever before 💪

Here we work pretty much 365 days a year. I will be off from trimming now until the new year but there is still the yard to look after.

However, I am looking forward to a couple of quiet weeks to spend with the girls 🐈 and hopefully get out and do some walking with Mr Humble Hooves. Who behind the scenes has been busy keeping things running, repaired, fixed and fenced along with fed and mucked out. Couldn't do it without him 😇

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

My little apprentice today 💕

Our paddocks are holding up exceptionally well. The nights are drawing in and the rain has officially arrived! This is the time of year our clay ground becomes bottomless. Thankfully because we have been managing our field specifically to encourage longer grass growth, with a thick sward, the damage is limited. Here Chance is enjoying a second graze of some rough cocksfoot. We try our best to miss the spring growth, not only is it the most delicate. It is the most risky time of year for those with metabolic issues. So it's great to extend our grazing into the autumn and winter, in spite of the weather 🌧

Conservation grazing ponies heading back out on fresh new feet 😁

When the horse who, I once thought could never have grass, freedom or a normal life, leads the herd 🥰

We did a mad thing and bought a little 'topper' unfortunately it more resembled a pile of scrap metal than an actual usable piece of machinery. Fortunately, Mr H.H can see potential in the saddest collection of scrap parts 🙃 Really chuffed with the results 💪

Sometimes I get frustrated with the finer ponts of barefoot, the different methodologies and online bickering. For me this is what it's about, helping a nervous chap in a pickle. Here we have the damage of an old abscess with a large amount of growth and a nasty split. All very close to sensitive tissue and risk of re-infection. The excess was all trimmed up and left flush, giving this little guy his dancing feet back.

They were supposed to be coming in to snooze for the day, but clearly the boys have other ideas. 🤣

Tired after a hard day munching 🤣 These two always together ❤️

Looks like they forgot, they are far to old to be up all night partying! And don't let the cleaner disturb you, will you lads 🤫🤣

My new woodchip leveler, all homemade 😁

We don't even have any mud 🙄🤣

Always nice to have this little trio lending a helping hand, mucking out the barns. Even if the helping hand is just the comic value of being strange little birds 🙃
