3d scanned a negative plantar hind leg then applied a biplanar trim and re-scanned through trimmed hoof. Making a demonstration model for the negative pa pad we are printing. This concept originally shown to me by Dr. Ric Redden has been a valuable asset for managing these type of feet. The biplanar trim allows quick correction because of the gains you can make in the trim alone. Come check it out at this year's hoof care summit in Kansas city!

🛑 Selenium Toxicity in Horses: Hoof Health Alert 🛑

Attention, horse owners and caretakers! Have you noticed unusual hoof issues in your horses recently? It could be linked to selenium toxicity, a serious condition that can severely affect hoof growth and integrity.

What to Look For:

Brittle or cracked hooves

Slow or abnormal hoof growth

Tenderness and lameness

Loss of hair from the mane and tail

Why It Matters:

Selenium is a vital nutrient for horses, but too much can be harmful, especially to their hooves. Excessive levels can come from various sources, including feed supplements, hay, grazing on high-selenium plants, or contaminated water sources.

We Need Your Help:

If you've noticed similar symptoms, please share your case details and location in the comments or via private message. Tracking cases and locations will help identify any common sources of selenium.
