This is why ringbone is such a horrible diagnosis.

We know a hoof rehabilitation farrier who began her in depth studies and apprenticeships because she lost her mare to ringbone from a lifetime of improper trim set ups in the hooves.

Ringbone is an issue that is mainly occurring because of a lack of knowledgeable (or timely) hoof care.

As the owner, it is Your job to educate yourself on what a well functioning hoof and leg alignment looks like.

While conformation, genetics, and the horse's daily use are also factors, how the horse's foot lands is super important to the long term soundness of the animal.

It’s National Farriers Week! Farriers work hard year-round to provide quality hoof care for your horses and play a key role in your horse’s soundness and performance. Horse’s feet are vital to their overall health. We encourage you to show your gratitude not only this week but year-round to the professional who helps keep your horse upright and sound!

Show appreciation for your farrier throughout the year by following these simple steps!
1. Provide a safe location for working on your horse. Ideally this means a clean, well-lit, level work area for handling needs. Uneven ground can also impact the ability to be accurate on balanced trims.

2. Have horses caught and ready to go prior to your farrier’s arrival. Allow yourself time to remove any blankets, fly boots, etc. and have them properly groomed/cleaned so your farrier isn’t waiting on you.

3. Have your payment ready the day of your horse’s appointment. And go ahead and schedule the next appointment before your farrier leaves. This is not only courteous of their time but also helps keep your horse’s feet maintained on a consistent schedule which can prevent hoof and performance issues from arising!

4. As the owner, it is your responsibility to make sure your horse has good manners when having their feet handled. Oftentimes, it’s best to hold your horse for your farrier’s safety. If you are not available, always have someone available to keep nervous or ill-behaved horses calm during the appointment.

5. Take the time and make the effort to say “thanks” for a job well done! Even simple offers such as a cold beverage on a hot day makes a difference.

Always remember a good farrier is an important part of your horse’s team. Building a solid relationship with your farrier can help set your horse up for success!

Farriery is a skill in which 1/8th of an inch can be the difference between having a sound comfortable horse or a very lame, and uncomfortable one. It is a humbling industry where you can go an entire lifetime learning. Though extremely in depth, I find that mastering the basics and applying a few principles goes an extremely long way for the health and function of a horses hoof. You can really turn a horses hoof around by honing in on these factors:

- Respecting the hoof capsule for what it is and isn't.
- Proper shoe fit, size, and placement.
- Allowing for caudal expansion.
- Balancing the foot and sharing the load appropriately.

You could probably write an entire book on each one of these principles. To me they are some of the most important. I've seen a lot of train wrecks for feet turn around by simply being critical and precise with those factors alone. You'd be shocked what a foot can look like after a few cycles.

I hope you all have a great week and God bless!

Hi everyone! My name is Tyler Tate and I am a Farrier in the Black Forest, CO area! I am an Active Duty US Army soldier at Fort Carson, and have been stationed here in Colorado since 2018. My love for horses originated when I joined the Fort Carson Mounted Color Guard. Shortly after joining the team I knew I wanted to expand my knowledge and interest in Equine so in 2021 I attended the ELPO Farrier School in Penrose, CO. Once learning about the dynamics, anatomy and inner workings of a horse I knew this was my passion. As of right now I am part time and spend every weekend and day off helping my equine friends feel, look and perform better! I am currently taking clients that can work around my Army schedule (mostly weekends) but in June of 2024 I will be ending my Army career and starting my full time farrier service in the Black Forest and surrounding areas. Please like, share and interact! For scheduling just shoot me a message on Facebook or send a detailed text message to (320) 905-0852.
