Pretty 24 year old boy Diablo is a SAPS mounted unit horse.
Diagnosis of lesions on the Superficial digital flexor tendon. Vet prescribed shoe for palmer support while on stable rest.
Forging and shoemaking is an essential, fundamental skill necessary for a farrier to have.
Especially with loadshedding handicapping a farrier's ability to fabricate a shoe with a welding machine.
Shoemaking is not just tradition. It is a basic, essential skill every farrier needs to practice in order to be able to try and help every horse that needs assistance.

I don’t know who took this photo (if you know please let me know and I’ll credit)! But it’s a great photo shoeing how a simple trim and shoe can affect the structure of an over long foot!

There are few things as satisfying to my soul as seeing the transformation in horse's hooves.

I take great pride in helping horses be more comfortable.

Strive to always do better.

Here are some before and after pictures taken approximately 10 months apart.

This observation drawing was sketched by Ilse Erasmus while her boy, Nadal, is getting shod. Drawn in the time it took me to shape and fit one shoe. Captured the essence of the scene perfectly.
