An illustration of the importance and value of having a veterinarian do before AND after x-rays. It takes teamwork. These are an hour apart.

Posture is key! Horses spend the majority of the day standing. Are they comfortable doing it?

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: While we tend to focus on how a horse moves to try to figure out how he feels, maybe we need to look more at how he stands. New research is exploring what a horse’s posture says about his health. Here's the first thing they've uncovered. >>>https://bit.ly/EQPostureAndHealth

The top picture is the horse freshly done and the bottom pic is 5 weeks later. Same horse as previously posted. You can see the heels of the shoe migrate forward throughout the cycle. Where things start isn’t where they end up! This is why it’s important to start with enough to keep enough support through entire cycle

This is the right hind after/after progression of the horse posted previously. Both pics are at the end of the shoeing cycle.

4 months of progress on an engine … aka..hind end 💨💪

This is such a great explanation of why shoe length matters to horses in different footing! https://fb.watch/lBnCOy97Q8/?mibextid=DqYSjB

If you’re curious how hoof balance affects the body, this is one not to be missed!! The research quality that Yogi and his teams do is opening doors to horse comfort.

How is the hoof and nerve pain linked?

The link between hoof balance and neuropathy is complexed but important, and research into how nerve disfunction affects horse health and performance is still in its infancy. But is proving to be under-diagnosed and far more relevant than its given credit for.

Celeste presents her pioneering clinical experience on nerve impingement and we make logical links to hoof balance. I also delve into my research linking poor hind hoof balance with lumbo-sacral-iliac region pain and nerve dysfunction!

Don't miss this one folks. Recording..

Photos are so deceptive. One reason why I don’t post many anymore. It’s difficult enough to get an image of what I see, let alone two at the exact same references to compare. I still take them tho for histories on each horse I work on.

I don't know if there is another topic as complex as the hooves. To understand them well, you need not only to have mastered all the knowl...

The kinetic chain starts and ends with the hoof. This makes it exceptionally clear why it’s so important to have the proper support and angle under the horse.

Many people don’t understand that coffin bone angles change throughout the cycle. What’s important is that the horse get corrected at each shoeing and if not able to correct, gets orthopedic help to achieve it.

Just some random recent fixer uppers!

Good help is hard to find these days 😜.

Negative angle hind fixer upper. Same day/one trim. A negative angle behind is very painful for the horse. It causes a multitude of issues including back pain, gluteal pain, lack of engagement and power.

Heels almost where they should be! Visible positive changes 😁
