Another hoof rehab photo comparison.

I have been trimming this horse for 6 months, again religiously on a 4 weekly cycle. Short cycles are the key guys!!

Look at the length and the width of the frog. As well as the heels shifting back to their correct place! So exciting!! 😍

We had some nice moments today - although the feel to the saddle was slightly different 😅

Really struggled today to sit somewhat normal. 🤦‍♀️

Another cool hoof progress photo. From long toes and negative palmar angles into a much healthier hoof! We still have a way to go but definitely on the right track!

Can you see the difference?

Back on my favourite girl after a long break! Luna has lost a lot of condition and muscle but hopefully we are now back on track of recovery. ❤️‍🩹

A horse that I have been trimming for some time now, religiously on a 4 week trimming cycle!

These photos are less than one year apart. So amazing to see the changes!

First work week of 2025 done and dusted. Busy start of the year❤️ Here are some pics.

1. Finally been able to ride Luna again after a some time off. I really hope this was the last spring I have issues with her health. I have built a track for her but it’s been a bit of a trial and error to manage it. Slowly getting the hang of it.
2. Trimming some hard as hooves 🥵
3. Lessons. 🦄
4. Got to sit behind other pair of ears this week too.
5. Always exploring with Alvar who is nearly 1.5 years old!! 😮
6. Puppies turning two weeks!!

It’s been a little quiet here lately. Quiet Facebook means busy life 😅 I’m still here tho, ticking along. Here are some pics from the past week.

Riding, building a new deck, trimming some rock hard hooves and also starting to see some cool changes, birthday celebrations and lots of swimming. And oh, Ruska is pregnant too😍❤️ Right on time for Xmas 💪🐶

I was honoured to present a webinar to the Working Equitation New Zealand Inc judges last night about healthy riding biomechanics.

Super grateful about this opportunity and it seemed like anyone who participated really enjoyed it too.

I am going to record this webinar to my up and coming website as well. It can then be purchased with an affordable price by anyone who is interested to learn more!
