If your farrier keeps a strict schedule or asks to shorten your horse's cycle....its not a control thing, its not a money grab...they have the best interest of your horse in mind!

For every 1 cm of excess toe length, the soft tissues—specifically the deep digital flexor tendon, the superficial digital flexor tendon, and the suspensory ligaments—have to take on an additional 110 lbs of tension. If the soft tissues are already compromised by injury, conformational flaws, strain from work load etc the effects of "being long" could be severe.

Pictured below is the growth from just a 4 week trim on my personal horse!🤯 Seasonal change, weather, exercise etc can have a significant impact on their growth....clearly seen here.

Hi everyone !

‼️A friendly reminder that I’m going to be gone for 10 days In June ‼️

This means that from now until then it’s crunch time… - If you need to make a new appointment or reschedule spots are very limited. 🗓️
- Note that your horse might have to wait until after my vacation to be done until late June. ☀️
- Please be mindful of when your next appointment is scheduled and make sure it still works for you 📆
- I will do my best to respond to questions / concerns while I’m out of town but WiFi will likely be unavailable at times 💬
- If you have an emergency, call your vet 🩺

I am taking some much needed time away in the mountains for my birthday… thank you all for your loyalty, flexibility, and understanding. I can’t wait to share stories and pictures from this trip with y’all when I come back ! 🏔️

2 sets of glue on shoes that I did last week. 💅🏼

Glue on shoes are a great alternative to nail on shoes especially for horses with brittle hooves or the older horses that cannot tolerate standing for nailing anymore.

Contact to talk about pricing or if you have any questions about doing glue ons for your horse 🐴 ✨

Now accepting new clients for a short time for trims, glue ons, or farm/ pet caretaking 🐴🐶🐱

❄️ ICE BALLS BREAK LEGS

The Winter “High Heel” Danger

Hy 5 Equine Bodyworks
For the Love of the Horse

We worry about horses freezing.
We should worry about them tripping.

In slushy snow, horses can form ice balls in under 15 minutes.
These are not soft snowballs. They are rock-hard ice, lifting the hoof several inches off the ground and turning your horse into a walking balance test.

⸻

🌡️ WHY ICE BALLS FORM

• The hoof is warm from blood flow
• The metal shoe is freezing
• Snow melts → then flash-freezes
• The shoe traps ice like a cup

Layer by layer, a solid ice “rock” forms under the hoof.

⸻

👠 THE “HIGH HEEL” EFFECT

Your 1,200-lb horse is suddenly walking on ice stilts.

⚠️ Increased strain on the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon
⚠️ Side-to-side fetlock wobble
⚠️ Stress on collateral ligaments
⚠️ Higher risk of soft-tissue injury & lameness

⸻

💥 THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE?

The barn aisle.

Ice + metal shoes + concrete = zero traction
When they slip, the elevated hoof increases torque, making fractures and pelvic injuries far more likely.

⸻

✅ HY 5 WINTER HOOF SAFETY FIX

✔️ Pick hooves immediately before stepping onto concrete
✔️ Snow popper / bubble pads for shod horses
✔️ Crisco or petroleum jelly on the sole as a short-term hack (15–30 min)

⸻

📌 QUICK HY 5 FAQ

Barefoot horses?
🦶 Safer in snow. The hoof expands and pops ice out naturally.

Cooking spray?
🍳 Works temporarily. Great for quick turnout or moving horses.

Why not stall them during storms?
⚠️ Increased colic risk. Horses need movement. Prep the hooves, don’t stop turnout.

⸻

🩷 HY 5 TAKEAWAY

Ice balls aren’t just annoying.
They are a real mechanical injury risk.

Winter care isn’t only blankets.
It’s biomechanics, footing, and prevention.
