Cracked hoof repair
This was a crack in a hoof that went from the bottom of the hoof to the top of the coronary band; which was causing slight lameness. Left untreated this would lead to serious lameness and is not something that heals by itself.
A full diagnosis enabled me to attach an aluminium plate (in this case it did not need gluing) to hold the two parts together so that the pressure was relieved from the coronary band so that it could heal.
Point to point training
Helping to train a pony for my 13 year old nephew for the upcoming point to point season.
Simple Shoeing
An everyday job but the heart of what I do… a simple shoeing. These pictures show the ‘before’ and ‘after’ of fitting shoes to a showjumper stallion.
On this occasion this horse needed its toe pulling back and a shoe with extra length because it needed the extra help and support to balance the foot giving less strain on the horses anatomy.
My horse has gone lame…..
If a horse goes lame very quickly the problem is most likely to be a foot abscess. Most people tend to call a vet out immediately but the good news is that a farrier can correct this problem more quickly and cheaply than the vet.
