Not just a normal shoe-pulling-for-winter.
This was the last steel set I put on. The last.
I’ve decided to simplify and stick with barefoot hoofcare, with alternative protection options only.
Trims, boot fitting, composite shoeing.
There are times for growth and expansion, and there are times for sustenance and maintenance.
Now is Not the time for expansion.
Now is the time for a big Half Halt, a rebalance, regroup, and time to stay inward.

The cobblers children get…No glue 🤣
I usually like to add a rim of glue and some packing material to an application, but I’m low on materials, and I need to keep this guy in work. So, he got the cheap and quick version. I say cheap, but is never that 🤣 pray for multiple resets 🤞🏽
I also NEVER oil my feet, but this set looked so pretty, I couldn’t resist. Not as a “rule” persay, just because I don’t need to spend more time bent over than I already do. And northeast feet certainly don’t need more moisture.
But they sure do look pretty.

Obligatory “I exist, and I glue plastic on large herbivores appendages” post.
I do love that I am riding my own horses enough that we've earned some hoof protection.
I also love that these feet are all wildly different sizes.
in order they are a 16.1h warmblood, a 14h connemara pony, and a 12h Shetland X Welsh

Before and after.
Fell Pony maintained every six weeks by a competent farrier with a different education than myself.

This video came through my feed in an interesting way, and while the posters commentary was pretty inflammatory, the information shared in the video is Spot On.
One of the red flags for me from a variety of practitioners is the “heel first landing” when assessing the horse at a walk.
Heel first, toe first, or medial/lateral hard landings are indications of imbalance.
I want the horse to land FLAT AT A WALK, only landing harder on the heels in the faster gaits.

Assessing the natural structure (conformation) of the horse plus HOW the horse is ridden (consistently inverted or BTV) is going to tell me a lot about how much I can affect or maintain.

Wonderful information
