Some good easy winter stretches.

Reba’s hips can get pretty tight. While she does have the winter off we still revisit some stretches to help her out with that. We do these and plenty more!

A much needed ride in the snow today. Reba was feeling herself and thought snow=gallop, but held herself together.

Lots of layers and heated socks came in handy.

10/10 highly recommend a snowy ride despite the cold.

Not a white Christmas this year, but we look forward to hopefully more snow the rest of the winter season. Enjoy a flashback from our last snow.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄🎁

Heel growth!

First picture is the first time I shod his guy. Second is after the second cycle at about 3 months later. 2 degree pads and an increase of shoe size this most recent time to accommodate the underrun heel.

I’m always hesitant to use degree pads for fear of further crushing the heel, and this is a big guy too. This time it was necessary to save the leg from the insanely low angles and an attempt to get him back into work.

Well we’re seeing some progress! Slowly but surely he’s gaining heel back with the extra support. Improved gait too. Maybe someday he won’t need degree pads at all!

Always happy to have some snow.

Every horse has their own points that they love. Working around sore areas to allow them to truly relax and feel better is always the fun challenge when performing a massage.

Experimenting with barefoot pads! Had to go with a run color of course. Very interested to see how they work out.

Getting this little pony back to normal.

A good comparison of what can happen when a hoof is overdue and starts to chip off what it doesn’t need. Pretty gnarly, but thankfully there was enough growth to completely get rid of all of that.

A beautiful new front set!

Pria’s new kicks today.

About a full cycle without shoes, using scoot boots and soft rides. This really helped her grow back some awesome healthy hoof wall.

Finally got the forge set up at home and shaped up the shoes. Handed them off to Cecil Booth who put the heel plate in for me. Finally, I added a rocker toe to both to help her out when the toe gets longer as she gets closer to being due again in 4 weeks. She really seems to love them so far!

Thank you again Cecil for helping me out with her tricky hooves!

I think Blaze our retired gentleman is always a great example for showing a few really awesome things about a good trim. He is on a 6 week schedule completely barefoot and here’s what this shows.

1: how much hoof actually grows throughout a normal 6 cycle.

2: despite the dry, hard ground and fly stomping there is minimal chipping. This is because of regular application of hoof dressing 2-4 times per week. He chips up pretty good this time of year without it.

3: how that “little bit” of flare and growth is actually a lot. When they both look the same it can make the illusion that they’re not so bad when they really are due.

4: why sticking to a schedule is so important not just for hoof health but a healthy gait! This is like walking around with shoes 2 sizes to big. Especially for an older horse like him with a long history of arthritis and hoof issues it makes a world of difference to stick to a strict and consistent schedule.

Pria just got her new custom Stomp Stopper fly boots. They work great already!

She is quite sensitive to the flies. All the stomping causes her hooves to crack quite a bit as well. Even just while I did her trim they helped her a lot to not be so cranky about them.

Well at least the shoe is still on🤦‍♀️

The horse always says it all💕.

Really lovely loose and relaxed yawns.

Something really cool about regularly massaging a horse is how they gain trust in you. Many are quick to relax and take it all in the first session, but others it takes at least a handful of sessions. Something cool about every horse around the 6 month mark of having a regular massage is they really melt and relax almost immediately. That’s how I really get the most results in a session: when the horse learns what it’s all about. Building trust with a horse and making them feel good it’s like you can start to become their little safe space over time.

Checking in, then the big release!

When the bugs are bad and it’s getting hot out Pria says it’s time to train her humans to give her a spray down when they fill the troughs. Not a fan of the flies at all. She’s a smart one and even poses herself to get the perfect spot🤣. Don’t worry her fly sheet and mask came off immediately after this. Killed two birds with one stone and it allowed me to clean them off a bit too.

Getting to THE spot! As we gear up for summer show season it’s a great time to schedule your horse a massage to set them up for greatness. Even if they are on the older side like this guy, as you can see they LOVE IT.

Old man Blaze still keeps up with the ladies. Often right before coming in for evening grain he’ll take a little victory “gallop” to get everyone all excited. 30 years young! (Special appearance is pria right after she rolled in a big puddle)

Visible softening and relaxing on this guy. Getting to the right spots here and notice how he completely softens and releases tension. Licking and chewing, nose wrinkles go away, lips hang a little, eyes start closing, and his head drops.
