Short pastures

Grass sugar content fluctuates with the time of day, season, and weather. Timing turnout for horses with EMS, IR, or a history of laminitis can help prevent problems.

It was a beautiful day shoeing and trimming horses in Middle Tennessee.

It’s important to catch canker as early as possible. This is one reason maintenance hoof care is so important.

A 25-year-old Belgian named Bailey was lame, thin and often nipped at his painful feet until they bled when a new owner’s love for the horse brought him to David Giza at Genesis Farriers in Culpepper, Va.

Baby it’s cold outside! ❄️⛄️

Many people think of donkeys as hardy, low-maintenance “small horses.” However, while they have similarities, donkeys are a completely different species and as such have a different physical, mental, and emotional make-up.

As the weather gets colder, it’s important to remember that donkeys are more sensitive to changes in temperature than their equine friends. They don’t grow a winter coat like horses and their hair is less waterproof, so they require shelter from the elements (like a run-in shed or a waterproof blanket). Being stoic animals, they also won’t show signs of discomfort and hypothermia until they are very sick.

Remember that every animal is different depending on age, breed, and other health conditions, so be sure with your primary veterinarian to address any concerns or questions!

I think we figured out today I’ve been shoeing for the Richardson’s 18 years. 😊
