Pricing and policy on laminitis/founder molds!!

1. Molding takes time… you cannot expect 1 and done… the process normally takes 4-8 sets of molds.

2. Molds are redone every 2-3 weeks by Rebecca

3. Owners may need to remove molds 1-2 times a week to treat thrush if it’s present at time of molding

4. Owners may need to add more tape between molds depending on how your equine walks

5. Pricing starts at $100 per set of molds… price will be based on how much materials that are needed to mold the hooves…

6. Price includes needed trims, fiberglass compound, duct tape and all supplies needed to put molds on!

23/05/2023

Miss H got her second set of molds today!!
They are helping and I see progress form 3 weeks ago!! I love fixing foundered minis!!

20/05/2023

One of my clients sent me these pictures! Echo was making sure I trimmed her hooves the way she liked them

10/05/2023

I just relized I forgot to do an update on Miss Britches the founder mini!! Check out her back feet no more molds!! Fronts are sooo much better too!! This was 3 sets of molds on the back and set 4 on the front!! So that’s 6 weeks to fix the back… hopefully in2 weeks the fronts will be mild free…

10/05/2023

Cracks? Over grown? What causes feet to grow so fast in the spring? What causes cracks? These are questions I get a lot this time of year!

1. Cracks… cracks like you see in this before picture are caused from the drought conditions last summer… it was so dry, then it got cold and wet… moisture got into the cracks and caused the little cracks to expand.

2. Over grown even though it’s only been 8 weeks… the answer is called fresh grass… even if they are use to it grass is rich this time of year…. If thier feet are over grown in 8 weeks or less you have great pastures!! They are getting the nutrition they need… be aware and watch thier weight so they don’t founder!!

01/05/2023

I just love helping ponies with foundered feet… it’s a bit of work but I know we can fix it in time… this little lady’s feet were not only rocking back but her inside heals were also rolled in… I forgot to take pictures before I started but these are pictures after I trimmed her and after I put molds on her feet… stay tuned for updates over the next few weeks!

29/04/2023

Founder mini from a month ago update!!
We are 1 month in and on our 3rd set of molds for Miss Britches!! This process for fixing founder is a slow one but we are so excited for how far she has come in 1 month!!

First 2 pictures were 1 month ago… the rest are from today!

If you have a foundered horse, pony or donkey let me know and we will see if they are candidates for this process!!

12/04/2023

Sometimes I have to get creative when it comes to trimming foundered older horses!! This guy we are trying to get his front feet straightend out so he can stand on them for his back feet to get trimmed… I am just trying to keep his feet from chipping and being too long… while we work to fix him!!

02/04/2023

This is not my typical post!! Are any of my Branson area clients mechanics? Or have tool and knowledge that can help me?? My thermostat has gone out and I am stranded with no tools

26/03/2023

Let’s talk Founder!!
Founder is when the horse or pony’s coffin bone rotates downward and causes pain in the front of the hoof between the toe and frog… this can be caused by many things… most common cause is the sugar in fresh growing grass… this can also be caused by over feeding grain, over working and stress…
Today I am going to stress grass founder since it’s now spring…. the best way to help prevent grass founder is to limit spring grass to after the sun has come up and dried the dew from the grass…
This mini below is foundered see how she is walking back off her toes… she is trying to relive the pressure in her toes… she has been getting regular hoof trimmings every 4-6 weeks… we are not sure why she foundered since she is on dry lot and dry hay… but it was time to do more than just trim her… she was trimmed this week after only 4 weeks I took a lot off her hooves…. I was contact yesterday because her owner saw her rocking back even more so today I went back out and we put fiberglass founder molds on her feet… you will see in the pictures she is standing on the bottoms of her feet much better already… this process can take several months but I have had great success with it on the last 24 years!! Her owner will remove the molds in about a week clean her feet and tape them back on.. we will then make new molds every 2 weeks till she is walking on her feet correctly!!
