How do I make my horse "better"???

HAY! Feed them more quality HAY!! Pellets and cubes are not the same as feeding a bale of HAY!

MYTH: Hay pellets and cubes can provide the benefits of a forage-only diet.

FACT: While cubes and pellets are often an excellent forage alternative, adding these as a supplement to long stem forage is preferred.

Most of the benefits from a forage-only diet come from the digestion of long-stem forage, like hay or pasture grass.

More time spent “grazing” (and slower processing through the digestive tract) are just a couple of the direct benefits for your horse.

Whenever possible, buy quality, long-stem hay to maximize “chew-time” and help reduce the risk of gastric ulcers & other digestive upset.

Is posture a fundamental factor in the clinical relevance of kissing spine?

This image is powerful! We can clearly see the effects of spinal posture on the proximity of the spinal processes!

But what we might not be aware of is just how much horses live in a “hollow back” posture!

This spinal posture is created by biomechanics, the functional link between the entire topline from the position of the head and neck to the position of the pelvic region.

But also this posture is perpetuated by horses living in a constant sympathetic state and many other factors of domestication, feeding, confinement, hoof balance and human interference on major proprioception centres!

A couple horses that haven't been trimmed in several years! Excited to see their progress over time. TONS of lip licking and even multiple yawns. They were much happier after their pedicures🤩🤩

🎉Happy New Year🎉 kicking off 2024 with pedicures👣🦄

Today's line up🤩 lots of long toes and a couple that will take a while to get correct!

One of the horses had cracks on both fronts in the same place. I was able to get the dirt etc dug out and applied Outrun Acres Healing Hoof Clay! This stuff smells AMAZING but helps treat thrush and get rid of nasty bacteria/infection. It sticks really well so no need to apply daily if you don't want to🤩 Thanks Kristin Thornberry for this!

Now offering barefoot trimming🤩 I went down a rabbit hole on my own horses and now want to help others!

NW ARKANSAS • NE OKLAHOMA • SW MISSOURI

I have always trimmed/shod some of my own horses over the years. Now that I have taken classes and I am traveling with a reputable trimmer from the area, I am ready to slowly add more clients to my books!

I will also offer PEMF therapy and some massage therapy for additional help to horses in need of these things! I can offer more therapy options if you travel to me for trimming!

I will offer glue on shoes to a select few. I have these on my performance horses currently as they are transitioning to being fully barefoot and I love them!
