The Farrier Industry has lost an incredible Farrier and an amazing person. Robbie Dawson has been involved in the equine industry for so many years and touched the lives of many. His knowledge and dedication were a true testament of how passionate he was, he did what he loved…..
You will be sorely missed ❤️

The Alu Comfort is the lightweight horseshoe model within the DF Comfort line. This horseshoe is designed with rolling on the toe and side branches for better movement coordination. A great fit with good grip and sole relief that allows sport horses to get the best out of themselves.

Good to know:
- Aluminium sports shoe with Radius clips between the second and third nail hole
- Roller section for optimal hoof coordination
- Smart Finish for good grip of the hoof on the shoe
- Good fit with V-crease, coarse and clean nail holes with correct nail pitch
- Carefully selected alumium for horseshoe use and consistent quality

The Hoofjack stand is the original and has been the standard for hoof stands in the farrier industry for years. The design has proven to be the best in the industry and saved a lot of aches and pains for farriers, owners and vets that use them. And, most horses are much more comfortable and appreciate the stable feel of the stand.

🐴 Jumping Comfortably into 2024 🐴

Using leather pads on horses' hooves offers several potential advantages:

1. **Shock Absorption:** Leather pads can absorb shock and reduce the impact on a horse's joints and hooves, providing extra cushioning during movement. This is particularly beneficial for horses engaged in high-impact activities or those with sensitive hooves.

2. **Support for Laminitic Horses:** Leather pads can provide additional support for horses dealing with laminitis or other hoof-related issues. The extra cushioning may alleviate discomfort and reduce stress on the hoof structures.

3. **Thermal Insulation:** Leather has natural insulating properties, which can be advantageous in extreme weather conditions. Leather pads may help regulate temperature, protecting hooves from excessive heat or cold.

4. **Protection for Sensitive Soles:** Horses with sensitive or thin soles may benefit from the protection offered by leather pads. The pads create a barrier between the sole and the ground, reducing the risk of bruising or injury.

5. **Reduced Concussion:** Leather pads can help absorb concussive forces, reducing the impact of hard surfaces on a horse's hooves. This can be particularly relevant for horses involved in activities like jumping or racing.

6. **Customisation:** Leather pads can be customized to fit the specific needs of an individual horse. Farriers can adjust the thickness and shape of the pads to address unique hoof conditions or conformation.

7. **Moisture Management:** Leather has natural breathability, which can help manage moisture levels within the hoof. This is important for preventing conditions like thrush and maintaining overall hoof health.

It's essential to note that while leather pads offer benefits, their use should be carefully considered based on the individual horse's needs and the specific circumstances. Consulting with a knowledgeable farrier or equine veterinarian is recommended to determine whether leather pads are suitable and how they should be applied for optimal hoof health and performance.
