Thank you to all the past and current clients who have entrusted me with the foot care of their most precious and valued animals.
You all have been fabulous but it’s time to rearrange some things for myself and my family.💛🫶🏻

I typically don’t do drafts but …go big or go home right?
Doc is a 19.2 hand Percheron that got his shoes pulled and feet trimmed up today.

I think I’ll still stick to horses on the smaller side but it was a fun!

This week is Farriers Week!
Remember to gift your farriers with a cool and shaded place to work, dry clean feet/legs on your horses, and possibly a fan or two.
Stay cool! And remember that everyone, including your horses, are doing their best in this heat.

Happy Farriers Week! 💕🎉🦄🪭☀️

DID YOU KNOW?

Puncture wounds in the foot qualify as medical emergencies, due to the amount of vital structures just beneath the sole that can be physically damaged and/or contaminated with bacteria when they are penetrated by a sharp object.

If your horse steps on a nail or other sharp object and it remains embedded in the hoof, resist the temptation to pull the nail out and consult with your veterinarian first. Leaving the nail in place will allow the vet to take x-rays of the foot before removal, which helps to identify exactly what structures have been penetrated, and to plan the most appropriate strategy for dealing with the situation.

If your veterinarian advises, carefully remove the nail to prevent the horse from stepping on it and driving it deeper into the hoof cavity. As you remove it, be sure to mark the exact point and depth of entry with tape and/or a marker so the veterinarian can assess the extent of damage. Apply antiseptic to the wound, and wrap to prevent additional contamination while you wait for your appointment.

Penetrating hoof wounds can be extremely serious and shouldn’t be underestimated. The prognosis for successful recovery depends on quick action to identify the path of the nail, treatment of potential infection and mechanical damage to the foot, and proper aftercare. As always, consult your horse doctor for more information and advice!

‼ Do clean your horse’s feet and legs prior to your farrier appointment – you wouldn’t go to the dentist after eating a Mars bar having not cleaned your teeth!
Beyond your farrier getting dirty and increasing the risk of accidents through slippy/muddy chaps, farriers use rasps to level, balance and finish the foot – rasps clog particularly easily preventing your farrier from doing the best job they can.

Sometimes a trim day becomes a play dates!
Thankful for awesome clients who allow me to bring one or both of my little dudes along when I need to!

It’s double time when days like this happen but I always leave the day feeling grateful for my occupation and the freedom it gives me to still be a momma.

With the sugar filled spring grass growing, I’ve recently had had an influx of conversations about grazing muzzles for clients ponies or horses.
I highly suggest this option as it allows the animal to be turned out, allows some grass intake but doesn’t allow an over abundance so we can help avoid laminitis.

I’d thought I’d throw out a link to one I use personally for my pony and like.
*Not a paid promotion.*

I will warn, sometimes they get smart and learn to rub it off like my pony has.
I ended up zip tying it to her nose band. (Obviously making sure nothing is poking or rubbing)
I also recommend checking and removing it daily to inspect for any rubbing or issues on either the pony or muzzle.

Another helpful tip is to wrap a part of the muzzle in a bright colored duct tape so that if they do manage to get it off in a large turn out, it’s easier to find!
I’ve spent way too many hours looking for my pony’s muzzle and I’m 100% certain this trick would have helped me find it faster.
