Exactly this ⬇️

I’m constantly having to explain this time & time again… often to clients, who have had an ear bashing, from well meaning equine professionals or worse, other horse owners, who see the toes & go into meltdown about lever forces 🤦🏻‍♀️

There is such a lack of understanding about hoof rehab & the horses’ pillars of support.

Sadly many equine professionals & owners have no clue what a natural hoof should look like, so normalised is incorrect trimming & shoeing practices. Heels too high, toes brought to far back & dumped, compacted sole & bar material left.
I could go on & on…

This image is a healing hoof, no it doesn’t look pretty, but this doesn’t bother the horse. The pillars of support remain which protects P3.

“The toe causes separation and tearing of the lamina”

I must hear this about 8 times per day.

Their comment could be valid if we didn’t know any better or have the receipts to prove otherwise.

Thankfully for the horses in our care we havnt been indoctrinated with the traditional outdated science that vets and farriers are taught.

Real life cases in real time shows time and time again that P3 remains stable within the capsule and the toe doesn’t cause any leverage or tearing of the lamina

If that were true we’d never see healthy connected lamina and hoof wall growing down the dorsal wall of the hoof.

So satisfying 😊

Before & after trim…

Thrushy frogs for the owner to treat moving forward, then these wee fit should be happy healthy toes next visit.

I always recommend Red Horse Products Field Paste for thrush, amazing product.

Caught in the act 🤦🏻‍♀️ Joselito full of mischief as always…

If the water buffet isn’t constantly topped up (I do this twice daily) the buckets become objects to chuck around & destroy.
