Important announcement!

I will be CLOSING my Etsy shop as soon as all outstanding orders have been shipped. From today forward, any and all orders will be canceled and refunded.

Etsy steals 15% of each sale, and I just can’t justify raising my prices by another 15%.

I am still available for custom orders on a case by case basis IFF you order through Facebook or Instagram. If you’d like to text me with an order, text me your name and what you are looking for please. Contact number is 306-274-2126.

I will be working on setting up an eBay shop instead so keep an eye out for my listings there!

Thank you all for understanding!

Dry hooves are a good thing!! Superficial chipping and cracking is normal if they are due for a trim. If their feet are dry and have deep cracks and excessive chipping, then the dryness isn’t the problem.

Hooves are made to adapt and stay healthy in a dry environment, and when they don’t, there is likely another factor that is the issue, usually diet. Oils and “conditioners” will never solve the deeper problem.

' DRY HOOVES' Myytti tai....🤔(myth or....🤔)

(Picture of one of my clients🐴( recovered from kaviokuume (laminitis)

Often I hear my clients saying that the hooves of their horses are very dry and if they should oil them to get (or keep) moisture inside the hooves.

They often ask me about my vision on this. Well, here we go!😉

A hoof adapts to the enviroment where it lives in. This adaptation is necessary to be able to deal with all different terrains.
As just said, a hoof is a fully self regulated and adapting part of the horse that in a healthy horse does not need to be adressed with creams, oils, extra water and whatever. Companies try to make you believe that the hooves need oils and creams

In the dry months it LOOKS very dry from the outside, but this is needed to deal with the hard and dry terrain of the summer. On the inside there is all the soft tissue that regulats exactly the perfect balance of moisture.

In the winter months we see (especially here in our Finnish climate) very wet and soft hooves.

‼️IF these more wet winter hooves are your point of referrence of an example of a strong solid hoof, then I understand the concern for a beautiful strong (and dry looking) summer hoof.

BUT.... think back about how and where horses live in the wild and reconsider if your vision of hooves is based on the right season🙂☀️

Ps.... these 'summerhooves' still need to be trimmed every 6 weeks, 💪

For those of you who have an outstanding order for a set of rein chains, thank you for your patience! With weather, travel and extra clients added to the schedule, life has been crazy. I apologize for the incredibly long wait.

I’ll finally be starting on orders this weekend and should be shipping them out next week!

Here’s a cool before and after!

I can’t take all the credit for the amazing progress this guy has made; soon after his initial setup trim, he moved away where another farrier worked on him and then came back to me around six months later.

Still very cool to see his progress though!

What do you notice about the changes his hood has made?

⭐️ UPDATE: the new group is up! I’ve sent a few invites already, but if you haven’t gotten one, feel free to request to join. Just search for Hendrixson Horse Training in groups. ⭐️

⚠️ Attention all followers! ⚠️

We need your help. Kerith Hendrixson and I have been working on a few new and exciting things for 2022: we really want to start offering some branded products to sell! (We may even offer discounts for anyone that wants to be an unofficial brand rep for us. 😉

We have a few different products in mind to start out with, but we need to run a trial to see what will be the hottest seller. We are starting with just ONE product for now. This would be really easy if Facebook allowed polls on business pages, but they don't anymore, so here's what we need you to do: I will be creating a new, private group for you all to join and vote on the poll. The group will stay up for regular updates so we can reach you all quickly and easily afterwards as well.

So whether you're a current client, interested in becoming a future client, or you just want to support us and help us out with your opinions, you are welcome to join our group!

I will be sending out group invites and posting a poll soon, so stay tuned, and thank you very much in advance for your participation!
