MotorQueue Natural Hoof Care Helping horses of all types achieve their best and healthiest hooves through quality, experienced care! Established 2008.

Problems with laminitis, founder, thrush, cracks, white line disease, contracted heels, navicular syndrome, or sore feet? Does your horse lack traction, endurance, speed and confidence over a variety of surfaces? Tired of waiting for the farrier when your horse loses a shoe? Shoes aren't always the answer - Going barefoot may be for you! Is your horse already barefoot but experiencing chips, splits, flares and tenderness after a trim? Barefoot trimming focuses on building up the callouses on the bottom of your horse's feet instead of removing them as is common in a pasture trim, allowing him to move across terrain with confidence and ease! MotorQueue Natural Hoof Care does not subscribe to only one school of thought or theory when it comes to trimming - what works perfectly for one may not work well for another. Every horse is an individual and will be treated as such. Looking for alternatives to metal shoes that still give protection and traction? MotorQueue Natural Hoof Care offers a variety of synthetic alternatives to traditional steel, including boots, casts, and glue on polymer options. MotorQueue Natural Hoof Care offers performance barefoot hoof trimming in the DFW area, focusing on improving your horse's natural movement and overall hoof health. Full evaluation and ongoing support system for owners, addressing dietary concerns, living and working environment, gait, and performance. Performance barefoot horses can do dressage, jumping, eventing, gait, trail ride, work cows, speed events - anything you can think of! Gentle horse handling, professional manner and on time reliability. References available and questions welcome.

Unlike horses, donkeys are less tolerant of wet conditions but more capable of handling dry cold. Their coats are designed to shed light rain but become less effective in prolonged wet weather.

The decision to blanket a donkey depends on several factors, including its health, age, coat condition, and the local climate. While donkeys are naturally hardy, their thin winter coats and lack of undercoat make them more susceptible to cold weather than horses.

Magnesium is not a treatment for EMS, but by correcting a deficiency, it helps to promote normal response to insulin. More information about balancing the diet here: https://bit.ly/3oIB92U

Exercise vastly improves insulin sensitivity, but the acutely laminitic horse cannot tolerate exercise. However, with recovery, exercise is to be encouraged as long as the horse tolerates it. Before beginning exercise, the equine must be non-laminitic, off NSAIDs, and comfortable. Do not force a laminitic individual to move, or allow its other companions to do so. Once the equine is moving around comfortably at liberty, hand-walking can begin in long straight lines with no tight turns. When finished walking, he/she should be as or more comfortable than when the walk began.

Before serious exercise can begin, a previously laminitic individual needs 6-9 months of correct realigning trims without relapse. The hoof wall needs to have grown tightly to nearly the ground. As the horse's condition improves, the level of exercise should increase. The importance of exercise in the EMS-prone equine cannot be understated. EMS/IR can be avoided completely with adequate exercise and diet management. Additional important details here: http://bit.ly/34xa60X

Just some donkey facts for your Thursday! 🫏🧡

- Donkeys can see all four hooves at the same time, making them extremely sure-footed.
- Donkeys can dig up to four feet to find water.
- Donkeys can go up to 5 days without water and lose up to 30% of their body weight due to dehydration.
- Donkeys in the wild walk up to 10 to 15 miles a day as they search for food and water across rough terrain.
-Donkeys sleep 3 to 5 hours a day. They lie down to sleep if they feel safe and secure in their environment. In herds, they will take turns watching for threats while others rest.

What is your favorite donkey fact?👀

Hello wonderful clients!
You all know how much I love and cherish my beautiful blue truck - it's currently in the shop experiencing a potentially major problem. I am currently out while I sort the issue out, so if you have an appt in the next couple of days, you'll possibly be hearing from me as I figure out what's going on and what the next step is. Keep this perfect Blueberry in your thoughts and let's all hope that it ends up a repairable issue, and I'll be in touch soon!

Hey wonderful clients! One of my clients in Springtown lost her elderly gelding this week and her remaining gelding needs a friend. The friend can be a mare or gelding, needs to be a relatively easy keeper since the other horse is a chonk and will steal food from a friend if he can - but not a metabolic horse since they will be on grass. The friend can have a few minor maintenence things but nothing major. Needs to be reasonable to handle as well. If anyone has anything they are looking to place in a new home, let me know!
