Check out the next shoe at Creative Equine Solutions in the IEP CONTENDER series the new READY ROCKER! Same shape and overall design concept with full toe fit, toe nail options, clip source material, heel floatation and rocker mechanics placed towards the heel. Great shoe to put on flat and have some low level mechanics. Great for thin soles and mild to moderate navicular problems. Can easily be rockered to further enhance the mechanics. Available in a size 0 and 1 with more sizes coming at www.shopmyces.com this week.

Cool horse hoof surgery case. Proud flesh/granuloma from an abscess or frog trauma. Was referred as a suspected canker but luckily not! Shows the importance of a good vet and farrier team. Farrier needs the skills to fabricate the shoe and hospital plate to make post surgical management a breeze. Lots of ways to make this setup but this is my preferred approach with a handmade pointy egg bar and 1/4 in aluminum plate. Heel of the shoe is rockered up to help seal the back and make access to the bolt easier. Simple standing procedure with a local block and sedation.

Designing some educational models. This model will have rubber band attachments at the lamellar bond and a string to mimic the deep flexor tendon. This can be a helpful tool to help explain to our clients how laminitis leading to lamellar structural failure allows bone displacement.

Another study linking obesity and risk of laminitis from hyperinsulinemia. If you add the obesity with other stressors, steroids or cushings disease the risk percentages will quickly climb!

Negative palmar angles are some of the most common problems I manage. The low pa is usually paired with a long and low angled coffin bone (45dg or <) the center of rotation of the coffin joint will be in the back 1/3 of the hoof. Managing leverage alone by setting shoe back can be helpful but often isn't enough without a positive pa trim. This foot commonly results in a biomechanically induced navicular problems, deep flexor tendonopathy and coffin joint arthrosis. The trim is the most important aspect and cant usually be flat. It is hard to get ahead of a hoof that has this tendency with a single plane trim while leaving adequate depth under tip of p3. Frog support of various kinds is also required.

Had this thought while watching my kids run across the rocks. One barefoot and one in shoes. One obviously feels every stone and with shoes the other just runs without consideration of the ground. If your horse has thins soles or poor quality foot mass it has to think about every step. This may slow your horse down or decrease performance maximization. So if your horse is barefoot and has adequate foot mass of 15mm hard protective sole with good quality wall it's likely just fine but if it's much less than that or even in shoes with less than ideal sole mass your horse may run more like my daughter than my son. Currently the only way my son can win a foot race!

Gluing on some modified ultimates for a laminitis case. #innovativeequinepodiatry #creativeequinesolutions #laminitis #barrelhorse

Cool technique for adding stabilization to a wall crack using a plastic welding hot staple kit. Credit goes to Carlos montagna for showing the world this cool trick.

Little fabrication fun for a chronic laminitis case that needed mechanics, sole protection and access. This is the NANRIC mega rocker with a custom treatment plate. Hoof MD glue, cushion support and soft pellets from Creative Equine Solutions.

A few recent cases.

Little Sunday afternoon ride with the family. This horse had an acute laminitis episode about 9 years ago (said 10 in the video but hey). Venograms show early on that a tenotomy was the best approach. Check out more about his story at http://innovativeequinepodiatry.blogspot.com/2011/07/lobo-laminitis-case.html?m=1

Forging a nanric drop forge rail to add floatation and help with a tight heel fit

Spiral intorsion of the cannon bone and pastern. Adds significant load to the medial quarter resulting in slower growth of the wall in this area. Often times the faster lateral (outside) wall growth makes us want to drastically lower to lateral aspect to level to balance the foot. This can further Increase the load on the medial aspect. Their conformation dictates they will load the medial side regardless and dropping to the outside further increases this medial load. With wall that is very mature with delayed growth and overload it can lead to eventual quarter crack. When a crack is present I opt to tilt towards the crack and use a positive pressure frog bar. This will create a laterally compressed coffin joint. The suspension effect of the medial collateral ligament will suspend the medial coffin bone and unload growth center of the wall in that area. Basically leaving them laterally high. After the crack has grown out working to keep a balance between even joint spacing and descent medial wall growth is the plan. Unfortunately medial lateral balance doesn't have one fix that makes both the wall and the joint happy. In this situation keeping the joint with even joint spacing and a level to the long axis leads to a quarter crack. But keeping the joint at a lateral compression to unload the medial wall and crack could lead to joint and medial collateral ligament inflammation if high levels of training is continued. Previously a heart bar and z bar have been used to manage with no improvement. Improving the dp balance with a low score rocker shoe can also improve growth and health of the hoof. Patched with a ric redden style lacing and acrylic patch.
