🦒 Since it’s official now… Justin and I have been asked to take over hoofstock hoof care at a local zoo!!!

Right before my back surgery last year I was approached with this bucket list opportunity and I had to sadly turn it down. I was retiring and we needed to focus on getting my clients taken care of after surgery. A couple weeks ago we were approached again because this zoo still hadn’t found a hoof care professional and has some hoofstock in need. I expressed that I personally won’t be able to do much physically, but between mine and Justin’s knowledge, we could help! After several emails discussing our safety as well as the animals’, we set up a meet-and-greet to see if it was a good fit.

Today we got a behind-the-scenes VIP tour through the zoo and the through the brand new veterinary clinic. We got to meet the vet, vet tech, and tons of amazing staff. We also got to see some hooves close up! Also, giraffes are VERY tall when you’re RIGHT next to them. 😳🤣 They recently installed a “giraffe tamer” which is pretty much a giraffe chute/stocks. They have 2 giraffes and a kudu that need attention, so the zoo staff has been working with each animal in the stocks to get them ready for trims. They’re all target cued, but need to get used to the new chute area.

While the zoo is getting ready for us, we’ll be furthering our education on hoofstock care. We are so excited for this amazing opportunity!

This!!!!!!! Same goes for when you wear bell boots over trail boots. They must cover everything!

In the event that your hoofcare provider has taken the time and effort to put glue ons on your horse - please please please, for all hoofcare providers out there, have well fitting bell boots that cover the back of the foot to protect your investment :) I promise, we will ALL be appreciative of them.

This was a very educational dissection!

This guy had a subsolar abscess blow out about 8 weeks ago. Pretty neat to see the sole and bar material filling back in on the lateral side!
