It is with a heavy heart that I do this. But we are going to help Pete find a new kid. We owe this horse so much so a GREAT home is a must.

He has helped make Trent the roper that he is today. You can tie-down, breakaway, ribbon rope and I know that in the far past they did heel on him some.

He is 21 years old. Great in the Box. NO funny business. But he longer fits my son's style and he needs a kid to help train. He was 2023 AQHYA Reserve Champion Level 2 Tie Down.

Last year we let a girl breakaway off him and it was her first year to breakaway and they did great.

I have lots of videos. Our loss your gain! PM for more information.

Just in case anyone was wondering where Johnny has been or up to. In October he was physically done and could not shoe and hardly walk for that matter. We were lucky enough to find an incredible doctor in California to do multi level disc replacement surgery. We went the first week in January and had a great surgery and are on the road to recovery. However, he will go back for surgery the end of February to fix 3 out 4 tendons/ligaments (I am not a doctor) that hold the shoulder together in his rotator cuff. One bad horse shoeing accident was what literally broke the camel (aka Johnny) back in this case. He is already feeling a ton better and can’t wait to get his shoulder done. We have already told him to tone it down we can’t stand him being in such a good mood. lol. 2024 the road to recovery for him.

The foot has several functions:
Supporting weight
Absorbing shock
Resisting wear
Provide traction
Pumping blood
Conduction of moisture

07/20/2023

The weight on the foot increases three fold when a horse is galloping.

07/19/2023

The foot continues to grow in size until a horse is 6 years old.

07/18/2023

The front feet are more circular in shape to allow for expansion during weight bearing.

The hind feet are more pointed to allow for traction during propulsion.

COOL SCIENCE (pun intended)!

An old myth wants us to believe that horses should be walked until they cool completely after exercise, even in the summer. However, a study from 2020 looked at five different ways to cool a horse after exercise: walking, walking with fans, walking with intermittent cold water application, walking with intermittent cold water application and scraping, and stationary with continuous tap water application. As it turns out, the method that resulted in the quickest return to normal body temperature was stationary with continuous tap water application (2 minutes), while walking alone took the longest time for recovery (25 minutes).

Bottom line: enjoy your rides in the sun this summer but remain vigilant for signs of heat stress in your horse. If they look tired, it’s time for a drink, a cool bath, and a break in the shade.

HOOF ABSCESSES EXPLAINED

Sooner or later, nearly all horse owners will deal with a hoof abscess. But what does "hoof abscess" actually mean?

Although most commonly seen during the wet winter and spring months, hoof abscesses can plague horses year-round and usually occur when debris and bacteria enter the foot through hoof cracks and wounds, even horseshoeing holes. The bacteria then get trapped between the sensitive laminae (the tissue layer that bonds the hoof capsule to the coffin bone) and the hoof wall or sole and create pus; the pus builds up over the course of time and puts pressure behind the hoof wall or sole, until it causes the sudden onset of acute lameness when the pain finally becomes too great.
(The diagram below shows a simplified view of the equine hoof to help you visualize the structures involved in this process.)

Hoof abscesses can mimic other more serious diseases or injuries, so involving your veterinarian early on in the diagnosis and prompt treatment of this condition is always a good idea. Some abscesses will be uncomplicated and rupture on their own like a large pimple at the coronary band or heel bulbs; other abscesses, however, could require radiographs and will need to be surgically drained.

Read more about hoof abscesses on our website at https://aaep.org/horsehealth/hoof-abscesses or better yet consult your primary veterinarian for more information!

The exterior layer of a horse's hoof is made of keratin—just like our fingernails and a rhino's horn. Within it, the hoof contains a structural base made up of bones, tendons and ligaments that facilitate equine locomotion.

A horse is built from the hoof up 🐎 🐴 That is a fact.

Did you know!!

The hoof wall is made of a tough material called keratin that has a low moisture content, making it very hard and durable. Keratin is the toughest biological tissue and forms the beaks and claws of birds, the shells of tortoises and the outer sheath of the horns of mammals like the pronghorn or bison. So, they really don’t feel it when they step on your toe.

Did you know!

The rubbery frog is a shock absorber in its own right, and it also distributes concussion to the internal digital cushion. The frog provides traction and helps to prevent slipping, and is also an aid to blood circulation and heel expansion because of its position between the bars.

Did you know!

The wall of the hoof grows from the coronary band at the rate of 6-9mm (¼ to ½ inch) per month. As the average hoof is 76-100mm (2½ to 4 inches) long at the toe, this means that the horse grows a new hoof in about a year.

Do you know how an important a healthy frog it!!! It helps with shock absorption, blood flow, protection, coordination and traction. As it starts to get wet make sure your frog stays healthy and clean!

Do you know all the parts of the hoof? Here is basic diagram so the next time your farrier talks to you; you know which parts they are referring too.
