BE AWARE!!!! Its been an absolutely brutal couple weeks lately! I've spoken with multiple vets and fellow colleagues and we are all seeing the same things.

If your horse is suddenly tender footed or tentative about walking over harder surfaces that they weren't before, less willing to go forward under saddle, not turning the same, or you see bruising in white feet...these are all early warning signs of sugar sensitivity/laminitis!!! Your horse doesn't have to be obese to be sugar sensitive, though obesity plays a huge factor.

This is a post from a fellow colleague. She puts it perfectly!

I've been using this amazing product more and more lately as the dewy wet grass has been wreaking havoc on hoof walls lately. Red Mares Hoof Butter has been a game changer for hooves having troubles handling the wet thanks to the bees wax that seals the hoof. Hoof butter has also helped with the hoof wall fungus and in some cases helped to prevent thrush. Plus how do you pass up beautiful shiny hoof walls done with natural ingredients?!?!?

Happy Friday all!!

Just a reminder that I am out if town today until Monday for our annual Advanced Practitioners Clinic with Ida Hammer. Continuing education is part of my certification with Mackinaw Dells Whole Horse program so we are able to provide the best care for the horses in our care. I am and always will be a Student of the Horse. 🐎❤️

If you have any emergency please reach out.

This boy has been in glue on shoes for 5 years straight and his hoof walls are just as lovely today as they were when we met.

Do glue on shoes destroy the hoof wall? No.

When I see damage to hoof wall under glue on shoes there is usually a reason beyond the fault of the glue itself. Often it’s a diet lacking in proper minerals enabling the horse to grow strong and healthy hoof walls to begin with.

Another fabulous get together to help share information and more ways to help the horse!

Fabulous example of the difference in "flexibility" of a steel shoe vs composite. I am not anti steel, I am anti caudal foot support. There are instances when horses need the stability of steel and other where they need the flexibility.

A lot of you have asked what I've been putting on hooves after trims lately...this is it! Fabulous product, helps regulate water absorption during wet weather, moistures during dry spells, helps repel thrush, and many other uses!
