Dry summer hooves still need thrush treatment, NOW as much as ever!! 🐴🌵🏜️

During the dry season, bacteria and infection is much harder to detect 🔍 the hooves will callous over, making it difficult to exfoliate and properly clean out thrush & bacteria once its present!

Bacteria 🦠 that causes thrush & WLD can very easily enter the central sulcus & white line, where it takes advantage of the hooves “shriveling” up from the dryness, embedding deep into the hoof tissue. 😱 this can also lead to stubborn cracks.

Even with rock-crunching hooves, horses need proper hoof care year round 🗓️

Some stills from the founder case in the previous reel 😄 This is only a month & a half in, I can’t wait to see how they look later this year.

I’m always comparing pictures of my work. Putting the images together really shows not only the progress, but also allows me to really analyze things I can do even better in the future 🙌

Most of all, I’m just so happy this guy is feeling well enough to play in turnout with his friends! How the horse feels is the true feedback ✊

Cadaver trim 🤎 Always so thankful to the now passed horses whose bodies are used for invaluable research to help horses for the present & future!

If you’re interested in learning to trim, it can be super helpful to dissect the inside of the leg and really visualize & feel the inner structures. Something that stuck with me was how incredibly strong the tendons and ligaments felt, especially the suspensory ligament, yet they’re so seemingly fragile! 😱

Cadavers are hard to come by in the US, but the PHCP has clinics all around the country (and in Canada!) where you can learn so much! It’s a requirement for professionals, but I recommend it to owners too 😊 This cadaver was from almost a year ago!

When to leave the sole, and when to trim?

LA is entering its dry summer season ☀️🏜️ which means the hooves are getting rock hard.

The hooves will callous to reflect the environment they work on. ☀️ Calloused sole is important for hooves to stay comfortable in the dry, rocky environment 🪨💪 it’s important to leave material that is supporting & protecting the hoof, and trimming away wall, bar, and excess frog material. Eventually, with proper movement, the sole will shed.

The photo on the right shows shedding sole, which you can see by the chalky white material. 🤍 When the sole is ready to shed, it will flake off easily, leaving a chalky substance left behind. We can then trim down the wall and make more dramatic changes to the hoof 🐴

I often get questions on why I leave the sole, and that’s where the Natural in Natural Hoof Care comes in! 🙌 We want to follow what the hoof is telling us. It’s not about making the hoof look pretty or forcing the hoof to look a certain way. The hoof is a live structure that reacts to environment, diet, and trims, so it will tell us what it wants!

A little side by side from some time ago ⭐️ this mare’s feet have changed so much, I’m so excited to do updated photos for her trim this week!

Changes in a pigeon-toed horse’s hoof wear patterns with simple, balanced trimming & 4-5 week trim cycles ✨

This is why it’s so important, especially for horses with conformational quirks, to be trimmed frequently and certainly before they “look due”‼️ If you leave a horse walking on flares and uneven walls, the hooves will distort and turn into what you see in the August pics 😅 It will also affect their gait and whole body! Imagine having to walk for 2-4 weeks in flippers 🦆

The two last pictures show her landing patterns & feet in the evaluation. I bet from the underside of her feet now, you wouldn’t be able to guess just how toed-in she is!
