Arvana had a rough start as a young dressage horse. Arvana was pushed too hard and too soon. He was also badly gelded. When the training did not go as intended, Arvana showed signs of lameness namely to the patella. His medial patellar ligaments were blistered, then eventually a desmotomy of the medial left patellar ligament was performed. It appears that Arvana had some injections on SI joints and other unknown creative treatments. Young horses can have some laxity in the patellas but if training is adjusted adequately and the horse is allowed to finish growing at It's own pace such issues can generally be avoided. Horses which are very kind such Arvana tend to put up longer with abuse than more opinionated horses. I have a long career with horses spanning 50 years of riding and 30 years of shoeing professionally. At this stage, I am really tired to see the same scenario of abuse enfolding time over time. Arvana was not beaten but pushed too hard too young. Note the damages on the pedal bones, compensatory gaits can create a slew of problems to hooves to name a few other physical issues. Can farriers and veterinarians be truly effective under such conditions?

It is important to consider tissue behavior along with the general morphology of a particular hoof, one size does not fit all. There are serious implications with over manipulating hooves. I have addressed tissue movement under different situations on live horses. There will be more on this topic and others to come later…

People often wonder why I have adopted so many “broken” horses over the years. I am always surprised by this question since the majority of horses in my barn are under full work. To me if a horse is really broken then it cannot physically function. Depending on their issues, all my equine adoptees receive veterinarian and other care routinely. Of course, I trim and shoe my horses. Most of my horses have been rehabilitated and perform well within their capacities. I am pretty pragmatic with horses in terms of their soundness, I think that there is no such a thing as a perfect horse – physically or mentally. There are quite of few good horses out there but most people don’t want to spend the time working around some flaws. The human expectation is often too high and sadly horses are treated like equipment. This mindset is what ends up breaking down horses!
