I am glad to see this post, and I hope people will see the light so that more horses don’t needlessly suffer because of trimming methods that have gone off the rails.

What distortions do you see? And what distortions were remedied with the trim? What still needs to be improved?

If you're interested in learning more about hoof distortions, please join us for the first ever TLC Hoof Trimming clinic where we will deep dive into some common hoof distortions and how they affect horses.

An excellent example of a toe callous on a barefoot OTTB. The toe callous serves as a protective structure for the tip of the coffin bone and the blood flow that runs along it.

This horse largely self trims, and is kept on 10 acres with horsey friends. It just goes to show how mimicking the wild horse's lifestyle is beneficial to domesticated horses.

As requested, a finished trim of a hoof with retracted sole with accompanying hoof wall separation. This mare also has some high-low syndrome going on, and this hoof is her "low" hoof. Thusly, extra care to keep her heel height as high as possible is necessary. Ideally, her toe would also be farther back on this hoof, but with the pathology of the retracted sole and potential for soreness, it was not worth the risk to her soundness.

Anyone have any tips or tricks on getting cute trimming pics? Asking for a friend 😅 🤞🏻 😅

For long ear lovers! 🫏

In an attempt to offset several vet bills and personal medical bills on top of being furloughed, I am offering some seminars and clinics.

Lola isn’t taking quality assurance too seriously today, and figures that resting while on the clock is an acceptable pastime instead.
