We’re so close now! 🥳🤩

This is the stage where it’s tempting to get impatient and take off that last bit of toe — but doing so will throw the hoof capsule out of balance again and set back all your progress by months.

Once stretching or separation has happened, it takes a long time to fully grow out.

Stay patient and keep your horse on a consistent, tightly managed trim schedule — you’re nearly there!

This much loved 34 year old horse pretty much emaciated (thin) when he was euthanised. Despite his owner piling in the food, he didn’t seem to recover from his thinness.

I was honoured to study him after euthanasia.

I was pretty upset to see the condition of his teeth.

Edited to add- the owner was not adequately educated to understand dentals are important.

Before I got into horses I thought my neighbour was crazy getting the equine dentist in. Now I realise.

In this case the last molar at the back is not being ground down naturally. The black you see is actually tooth.
It’s opposite tooth that should be in the upper jaw is missing.

This horse would not have been able to grind its food properly which I feel was a very likely cause of his thinness.

No other issues noted internally

Thanks my sponsors for supporting my work. Please see the comments for details.

Apologies for the typo!

Not the hoof of a horse but still educational.
