I love watching hooves recover when you take the shoes off 😊

Absolutely! 💜
Trust me on this one. It’s 100% true.
If the universe sends you a message you are supposed to hear , and you don’t listen, it will send you a bigger one…
Spoilt rotten! 😁 Homemade Cheesecake from Jill Chant for all of us on trimming day- yes they really are strawberries dipped in white chocolate! 😋
Blast from the past- 7 years ago by the round pen. You can see some of our young trees starting to grow and change the 'bowling green' appearance of the place as it was when we first bought it.
It's not just diet, environment & movement that impact hooves- the weather does too!
Not all clefts are thrush. The hoof is a living organism and so isthe frog. It swells in mud and rain and that’s o-kay!
Don’t let the thrillseekers freak you out.
Keep it natural! 🤙🏼
Kismet & Tyrion have decided to be besties today! 🙈

Yorkshire Boarding gable ends are almost completed- just the roof to go on now! ☺️

Winter sun at the top end of our Top Track.
This tree planting area had roughly 50 Spruce trees planted in the last couple of years. Really love that they're now established and starting to grow much bigger.
Some of the herd on the Top Track which we've opened up while the weather has been freezing, so the mud spots aren't a problem. This will eventually be surfaced, but we have more tree planting areas to put in first, AND the horses love it as it is- it's a human thing to be bothered about mud!
Red sky at night for the lads working hard to finish our indoor arena building.....Won't be long now, just one gable end and the roof to go! 🤩
Three Ravens are stockists for Hoof Doctor Oil & Putty. 🌿
One of the best hoof products on the market- and we've tried them all over the last 12 years! 🌿
Feed buckets are like an art form! 😋
Every horse here at Three Ravens has a bespoke feed bucket, worked out to their individual specific needs. And at this time of year- all through Autumn and Winter months, we mix all feeds with warm water 😋
The smell of warm cinnamon in the barn is just delicious and every single horse here LOVES their Winter warmer feed buckets. 😋
Seems like common sense, but it's certainly not always the case. Horses don't get a say in 'who turns up to buy them', so the very least we can do is to practice fair and appropriate handling and training. Communication is a two way thing.

10 years ago, we would never have dreamed that this moment would ever have been a possibility- our own indoor arena!!
It's more than half finished now and won't be long till it's up and running and all of us here at Three Ravens are SO excited to start using it! 🤩🐴🥳
Phoenix 🔥Handling and training sessions, getting him accustomed to being touched, groomed, legs handled, wearing rugs, being led & following a feel. I will be posting more about foal handling and training in our sister group- The Horse Code @ Three Ravens Natural Boarding for anyone who wants to keep up with his development. 🧡

HAPPY NEW YEAR - SO much more to come in 2024 🥳
Merry Christmas to all, love from everyone at Three Ravens Natural Boarding. 🌿💜🌿
One of these horses is our Little Wolf, the other is a wild Mustang. 🌿
The similarity doesn't end with what they look like. They both have species appropriate lifestyles, and choices in their lives. They both have the ability to live in family groups and form lasting bonds with others of their own kind. Their emotional AND physical needs are being met. Track System Livery Yards provide an environment where horses and ponies can thrive, rather than just 'be alive'. 🌿
"But they need metal shoes or their feet will wear away"......still hearing this 18 years later! 🤦♀️
If you want rockcrunching horses, let them live on rocks! 🌿

Hamish & Little Wolf early this morning - when many people believe they would prefer to be having a 'duvet day'!! Nope- horses prefer to have choices and FREEDOM with their FRIENDS & plenty of ad-lib FORAGE. 🌿💚🌿
Phoenix has started to come in the main barn for his feed bucket today. Up until now he has been fed and handled in the integration pen, but he's now ready to start joining in and getting used to the daily pattern of being brought in. To set him up for success, he has been haltered and led around the pen to start his education on following a feel, and being led with a soft feel.

🥕🍏Three Ravens Advent Calendar! 🥕🍎
🌿💜 Daily Joyfuls💜🌿
We've reinstated our TREAT BAR in the barn. All the horses get to have a quick visit after they've had their morning feed buckets. Treat Bar contents can include a wide variety of goodies from carrots, parsnips, apples, celery, radishes, Hay Cobs, rosehips, herbs etc etc. I mix a handful of chaff in each bowl to slow down those who can suddenly turn into a 'hoover'!! 😁 You can add different ingredients on different days too. Each horse only has a couple of mouthfuls as their 'Daily Joyful' treat, so nobody misses out. 🌿💜🌿

Every time we take shoes like this off a new horse, it's guaranteed that hooves will be riddled with thrush. Here at Three Ravens we are stockists of and use Hoof Doctor Oil & Putty, and I also make my own 5💚Hoof Clay- all of which are excellent for thrush prevention and treatment.
We always have plenty of hay out, but horses like being together in groups to eat. Balemate round feeders are perfect for this- every shape and size of horse can fit round them to eat together! Sharing is Caring! 🌿
Getting Phoenix used to scratches. He's less shy as each day passes. I filmed this a few days ago (you can tell with the weather!) He's now happy to accept a halter and lead rope on and follows a feel, being led around the pen. (The green on his chest was applied by his breeder before he came- like most foals, the odd scratch and cut happens when they live in a herd environment 🥰)
Doylan Dances with Angels 🧡 Usually when I choose a name I'm fixed on it, but the longer he is here, the more I'm not feeling the name Noa, it just doesn't suit him. So......I've decided to change his name to one of my original choices, which really does fit with his little personality. He is now PHOENIX 🧡🔥

Herd Life 🌿 Hero is very settled in the herd after a relatively short space of time. He seems to have taken a shine to new boy, Flash 🌿
Flash ⚡️ is out of the pen and settling in beautifully ⚡️ T J Equine Foot Care - Barefoot Trimmer ******************************************* It’s become quite evident now that (dare I say it? Yes I do) many many vets and farriers are really behind on the current research and anecdotal evidence regarding laminitis and how best to eliminate it and prevent it taking hold again. And horses are having to deal with the remnants of advice which is actually harmful to them physically, mentally and emotionally. After what I’ve seen this past few weeks, I’m quite past caring about upsetting other professionals. We all have something new to learn, always! It would be nothing short of arrogant to think otherwise. I guess it’s fair to say you don’t know what you don’t know right? But at what point does that become a welfare issue? Now, what I will say with confidence is what we as a holistic industry of track systems and trimmers are achieving with laminitis is irrefutable, and cannot, or should not be ignored. What you’re looking at below is a horse who just over one short week ago was given a very bleak prognosis of multiple farriers telling his owner he’s done for, and a vet saying his bone penetrating the sole is imminent and he’s going to be dead by halloween, if he doesn’t lose x amount of weight. Also whilst on box rest. He must not move or the laminae will tear more. With lumps of padding vet wrapped onto his frogs, and frogs only, for stability. There is a repercussion to much that we do with horses, be it good or bad, there is one. And we must learn about them and how they will affect the horse before doing things to the horse that are going to cause those repercussions! For me, it seems lots boils down to opinion l, which is fine I guess. But, with that, I also think what one deems a welfare issue is also an opinion. A vet with some old school traditional training or someone of a different mindset might say that turning this ho
Flash meeting Fidel- who is standing on a mound and not the same height, even if it looks like he is!! 😅 This is Flash moving on our stony surfaced track, directly after being trimmed. Yes he has thin soles, yes he is recovering from a bout of laminitis and yes he will now be following our diet & nutrition protocol so his body will be fully healed. Flash is 7 years old, and a few days ago, his vet recommended that he should be pts. Thankfully, Flash has fabulous owners who weren't ready to accept that he couldn't be fixed. 💚
After promising her all day, I finally got round to riding Gazelle this evening! We weren't alone, a couple of dragonflies, several Pipistrelles and a Barn Owl were all flying round the tracks with us, as well as Canada geese, ducks & Moor hens swimming on the water next door.
PHOENIX 💜 Kismet's half brother, PHOENIX will be coming to live at Three Ravens when he is weaned in Autumn. 💜 His stud name is 'Doylan Dances with Angels', a reference to my girls who have crossed over rainbow bridge 🧡
