Otherwise, please know that messages and requests will be responded to when I return. As always please do contact me about any emergencies or urgent matters and I will do my best to help all that I can while I am away. Thank you! 🐴🦋

A very important reminder to keep an extra close eye on our equine friends as the cooler weather rolls in!

As the days get cooler pay attention to your horse.
Signs of inflammation- ‘ouchy’ feet, thrush, weight gain, not willing to move as much, bloated abdomen.
Laminitis can be prevented and managed ( in most cases) !!

Before and after on a little guy from this week. Don’t forget little hooves grow just as fast as big ones, especially with this fresh grass popping up! 🌾

A good reminder as this spring grass rolls in!

Not a joke...

Have you ever wondered why you can have a 15 acre field and part of it is chewed down to nubs and the other part has grass a hand high, But your horse is constantly grazing in the chewed down part?

Grass 6 inches and taller has less sugars than grass under 6 inches.

For every inch drop below 6 inches, the fructan (sugar) content rises.

Grass under 6 inches is stressed like it's a Monday morning with a project deadline. It uses sugar to repair itself.

Stop mowing your fields short.

Stop grazing your chubbys on chewed down grass. (this is why grazing muzzles are so touted...they keep the horse from being able to get much short grass)

(We aren't saying let your fields be 3 feet tall, by the way. The optimal thing to do is keep them 6-8 inches tall and graze them in small areas there)

Amberly was a total rockstar while getting her old shoes removed and a fresh trim yesterday! It’s a huge difference when the toe and heels are taken back to a comfortable place for the horse and the overgrown angles are changed. She’s ready to hit trails! 🐎 Angela Greenwell

How well do you know your hoof anatomy? 🐎 Having a general knowledge of the anatomy of your horses hoof is so important! It will help you recognize new changes to your horses hooves, both good and bad, and give you a better idea of how to help promote a healthy, well balanced hoof (and horse in general!). Next time you’re with your horse take a glance and see if you can pick out all the working parts to your horses hoof!
