**Hoof Education Series - What Do You See? ** I can't wait to hear your feedback about this hoof! The first two photos were taken on the 21st of July. The last two were taken today, August 11th. What do you think is going on? Why is it happening? It's this foot heading in the right or wrong direction? Could a foot like this be comfy for the horse to stand and walk on? This is a safe place to comment and ask questions. We are her to learn how to be awesome stewards of our horses! In a couple days I'll give you the details about what's happening with this foot. I'll also answer your questions. If you need one-on-one help or advice with your horse, I'm here to help. Visit my website for more info. Check out my upcoming event too, Equine Emotions Webinar . What do feet have to do with emotional state? A LOT! Everything is connected...

It's so joyful and rewarding to be greeted by my students when I arrive at a farm call, even when they try to eat my hair! 😂🧡

You might see some white flakey material come off the bottom of your horse's hoof. The more you dig with the hoof pick, the more comes off. First, don't panic. Your horse's hoof isn't falling apart. What's happening is a purely natural process called exfoliation. As your horse's sole lays down new healthy tissue, old tissue dies and crumbles away.

**Hoof Education Series - What Do You See?** Here's my follow up to the most recent post in the series. It's a caudal, rear, view of a hoof I was asked to evaluate. You all did a great job of sharing what you saw going on with this hoof. Thank you for participating! We are ALL learning and I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you for commenting and viewing these posts. Whether you're new to assessing feet, or an old pro, it's not always easy to see what's going on. Sometimes there's SO much going on its hard to focus on one thing. With some feet, the issues may be subtle and they may "not look too bad, " but are still creating devestating consequences for the horse. I'm hoping by marking up this foot it'll be easier to see the degree of distortion that's occurring. I took before and after trim of this horse's pelvis in motion that I found particularly stunning. I'll get that posted asap. My comments are in the photo captions. Keep up the commitment to improving your horse's lives from the ground up.

Hot weather is hard on horses, but we can help them get through crazy temps more easily with a few simple additions to their living space. It's also important to give them a complete diet with loose white salt added to their daily buckets to keep their bodies healthy. White salt blocks should be available too, but they don't provide enough sodium chloride to keep your horse's needs satisfied.

Pure Joy Horse Haven Tip of the Day Should I Ride in Hot Weather? Horses are naturally challenged when the mercury rises because their inherent mass both generates a lot of heat and holds it within the body. While they have effective physiologic mechanisms that allow them to thermoregulate, such as sweating to cool the body and panting to release heated air from their lungs, their ability to maintain a healthy body temperature decreased when the ambient temperature increases. When you add humidity to the equation, the cooling process is severely impeded. Adding the stress of exercise, which elevates heat rate and muscle-generated heat, your horse's internal temperature rises and can reach dangerous levels very quickly. Riding or working your horse in the cooler morning hours, or after the sun goes down, will reduce the potential for heat stress-related injury. Make sure your horse's diet is complete to maintain tissue and covers all electrolyte needs. Salt is the most deficient and easily lost electrolyte and should be provided twice daily in your horse's feed - Dale Rudin Certified Equine Nutritionist #happyhorses #horsewelfare #equinenutritionconsultant #horsehealth #horsetrainingtips #horseriding #horsemanship #horsewisdom #welfarecenteredhorsemanship #equinenutrition #equinecare #horsecaretips
