Another case of seedy toe requiring some attention!

This horse presented with significant separation and deterioration of the hoof wall around the toe, caused by seedy toe (white line disease).

The affected hoof wall was carefully resected to remove compromised material and expose the area for cleaning and ongoing treatment.

The aim of this treatment was to:

✅ Remove damaged and separated hoof wall

✅ Eliminate areas where bacteria and fungi can thrive

✅ Allow the affected area to be properly cleaned and treated

✅ Maintain hoof stability and support during the healing process

A supportive shoe was fitted to help maintain stability while the compromised section of hoof wall grows out.

Seedy toe isn’t something that disappears overnight. Successful rehabilitation requires consistent hoof care, appropriate treatment and regular shoeing cycles.

The goal is to give this hoof the best possible opportunity to grow out strong and healthy.

*** SUPPORT COLIN AND HIS GIRLS AFTER HORRIFIC LANGWARRIN STABBING ***

We don’t often share GoFundMe pages, but after the horrific stabbing in Langwarrin this weekend, we wanted to share this one.

The man critically injured in the attack is 41-year-old local dad Colin Sheean.

Colin is father to two girls who have already experienced unimaginable loss. Their mum, Colin’s wife, sadly passed away five years ago.

Since then, Colin has been raising his girls while also running his own business.

Now their family has been dealt another devastating blow.

Colin was stabbed multiple times after confronting a group of teenagers reportedly attempting to break into a vehicle outside his Govan Street home in the early hours of Saturday morning.

He was rushed to The Alfred in a critical condition.

A GoFundMe has now been established to support Colin and his two girls while he faces what could be a long road to recovery.

For someone who runs their own business, being suddenly unable to work can have an enormous impact, particularly when you are the sole parent supporting your children.

This family has already been through more than most of us could imagine.

If you are in a position to donate, even a small amount, the link to the fundraiser can be found in the comments.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing the fundraiser may also help it reach someone who can.

We’re sending all our love and strength to Colin and his girls and hoping for the best possible outcome for him.

Great results for Merlin 🐴

It’s always good to still see the results of your work while away in Melbourne!

These before and after X-rays show the progress Merlin has made over the past several months.

Through consistent, progressive corrective trimming, we’ve been able to gradually bring the hoof back underneath him and significantly improve the overall balance and hoof-pastern alignment.

This sort of change doesn’t happen in one trim it takes time, patience and allowing the hoof to grow and remodel correctly.

Most importantly, it’s great to hear that Merlin is feeling good and back to his happy self. There’s still a little more work to do, but the difference from where we started is great to see.

SEEDY TOE RESECTION — PROGRESS UPDATE 🐴

The first photo shows this foot on the day of the original seedy toe resection, where a significant amount of compromised hoof wall had to be removed.

Fast forward to today and we’re starting to see some really encouraging progress, with healthy new hoof growing down from the coronary band and gradually replacing what was originally lost.

Today we also chased out and removed further areas of white line disease, removing the compromised material before packing the affected cavities with The Equid Apothecary Equifibre to help treat the remaining disease and protect the areas as they continue to grow out.

Still a fair way to go, but compared with where this foot started, we’re definitely heading in the right direction.

Resect. Treat. Support. Regrow.

CLIENT NOTICE - Away 23rd August - 11th September

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you all a heads up due to some unforeseen circumstances, I’ve been called back over to Melbourne to help out for 3 weeks.

It’s bad timing but unfortunately it’s needed, especially with how busy we’ve been here in Tassie. I love what we’ve built down here and I appreciate every single one of you who supports Sarlo Farrier Services.

I’ll be away from 23rd August - 11th September.

For those of you who are booked in during those weeks I’m away please hold tight. I’ll be reaching out personally over the next few days to get you all re-organised for as soon as I’m back. No one will be forgotten.

If you’ve got a horse that you’re worried won’t make it through until I’m back, please just flick me a message. I’m more than happy to try and shuffle things around and bring you forward to before I leave if I can.

Thank you all for your understanding, your patience and for being such legends to work for. I can’t wait to get back home to Tassie and back into the swing of it ASAP.

If you need me, my phone is still on just shoot me a message.

Cheers,

Braydyn
