My goal is simple: Providing quality trims to create a balanced and healthy hoof.

My Monday ended with a pair of EasyCare Speeds. Now this horse can go back to running like a maniac in her pasture and putting them through the ringer. 😂

Some good examples of different hoof shapes! The first picture came off the coolest 16h mule. The second and third pictures came off of my previous OTTB show horse. The third was from a farrier in TX while the second was from a farrier in AR. The fourth picture is the shoes side by side from the OTTB. What’s so interesting is how the second and third set were for the same horse, but different sized shoes and shapes.

When I get a new client I always tell them that it will take a few trim cycles for me to get the hoof where I want it. Angle and health wise. This factors in staying on a consistent schedule and the client doing their part inbetween our appointments. While I don’t offer metal shoeing in my practice, the same thing applies to glue-on shoes. Often times a horse in glue-ons will change shoe size after a few cycles. The hoof is an amazing thing, and if we take care of them the horse is better for it!

Just a few feet and friends from this week. I often neglect taking before and after pics of different views and angles of the hoof. I’m going to make that a priority with a few horses coming up to show some examples of what a difference a proper trim can make. It was a great week seeing some of my favorite clients (both people and equine 😉)!

As we near the end of summer please be on the lookout for thrush and the start of WLD (white line disease). If you are picking your horse’s hooves and see black smelly gunk come out of the collateral grooves when using a hoof pick, apply thrush treatment. If you are seeing black lines like in the bottom left picture, carefully pick out the debris and apply thrush treatment, Artimud, or Toe Jam to those areas so it does not progress further. I will give you the best service I can provide every 4-6 weeks but I need you, the horse owner, to help identify these common issues and treat them right away in-between appointments. I promise if you are treating these issues as they come up, your horse and pocket book will thank you! I’ll be keeping Toe Jam on hand for purchase to make it easy for horse owners to get the product from me at our appointments. Early detection is key when it comes to thrush and WLD. If you ever have concerns about your horse having either, always send me a message. I’m happy to help troubleshoot, offer advise, or schedule to come out and take care of your horse(s).

Last week I made lots of new friends! Some curious goats, a new filly who had her first trim, and a few doggos. Stay tuned for some actual hoof trimming pictures later this week. This is a farrier page after all. 😅

✨CONTEST WITH PRIZE✨

CLOSED

Open until 6pm on 9/13/24!

Can you guess the cost of the glue-on and clog shoes, plus accessories in the photo on the left? I think it will be the most fun to not google the products and just take a guess. To make it somewhat fair the range of guessing is between $100-$1000. Winner will get either a free Weathermark Farrier Color Comforts shirt, baseball hat, or beanie. The shirt has multiple color options and the hat and beanie have the logo embroidered. Happy guessing!

No farriers please! I love you guys but that’s just not fair 😂

Laminitis and EVA Clogs… and Phoenix:
•
Phoenix has been on a whirlwind adventure with laminitis for many many months. The problem is, she’s a giant girl on some not so giant feet. Her owner provides exceptional care and has been all for trying anything to help her be more comfortable. We did a few cycles in EasyCare Versa glue-ons and found that she needed more support after a very brief few weeks barefoot. 8 weeks ago she wasn’t wanting to move around much and certainly wasn’t acting like herself. We put on the EVA clogs and 8 weeks later, BOOM, these are the stills from a video I was sent yesterday! To say that she is feeling good is an understatement! The 15-20 degree temp drop had her and the rest of the herd feeling fresh to say the least. She will be moving back into the Versa glue-ons in a few weeks. The EVA Clogs did wonders for her though and I’m happy to see her running like a maniac, even if it does raise my blood pressure just a tad. 😅 I’ve included the description of the EVA Clogs under the picture of the shoe. The picture of Phoenix’s hooves show casting material around the shoe and hoof which adds extra support (which she clearly needs with all the running). A great tool for lamanitic cases!
