Backing up the toe or thinning the toe wall good or bad? Let the grinder tell us. I think thinning the dorsal wall excessively can weaken and already weak foot.

We had a great time at the international hoof care summit in Kansas city. It was great talking shop to so many people! Creative Equine Solutions.
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!

equine hoof surgery
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.
Splint day! Post superficial flexor tentomy. Easy ways to make a splint.
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.
