Some before/after of a horse which was presented to me around 12 months ago.

Showed a negative HPA ( hood pastern axis), it’s been a long winded process but finally seeing some improvements.

This horse was shod with a 3 degree wedge pad and after gradual reduction of this wedge, she’s finally in a flat pad. 🐴

Somthing a little different today.
This horse had a bad solar abscess , after over a week of regular poulticing both wet and dry by the owner.
It was time today to re apply a shoe.

I decided to weld an insert into the shoe to protect the area and cotton wool with antiseptic spray was applied.

Hopefully things are on the up for this 🐴

❄️Laminitis & frost ❄️

Finally, the weather has taken a bit of a cold turn, with the first frost at TCEH last week.

Frosty weather may be beautiful but sunny days with cold frosty nights cause sugars to accumulate in the grass. People often think that laminitic horses shouldn't graze frosty grass until the sun has melted the frost, but actually they shouldn't graze the grass until there has been a return to night time temperatures above 5'C and/or overcast weather.

During sunny weather grass makes and stores sugars, then at night when grass is able to grow these sugars are used up. However, when environmental conditions such as low temperatures (below around 6'C), lack of rainfall or poor fertility prevent growth, sugar levels can continue to accumulate in the grass, making it unsuitable for horses and ponies with insulin dysregulation and increasing the risk of laminitis.

If your horse is prone to laminitis, please be careful when they are grazing in the winter and be vigilant for signs of laminitis, including a stiff gait, lameness or a rocking back stance. If you notice these signs, please take your horse off the pasture into a deeply bedded stable and call us.

Horse shod today showing a negative HPA (hoof pastern axis) behind.

To combat this I choose to fit this horse with a wedge pad and dental impression material.

This will support the caudal (back) of the foot, hopfully over time encouraging some heel growth.

After shoeing we had a better HPA , so hopefully this lad will be feeling a little better.
Happy horse happy farrier 😁
