It’s likely your horses’ hooves look nothing like this 👇🏼

However, this still holds an important message for you as your horse’s person…

Whether a little or a lot, removing all or part of the horse’s own horseshoe - the waterline - the inner hoof wall…

Which for good reason was made the strongest part of the hoof…

Will have negative knock on effects…

Cookie cutting the hoof to look normal rather than respect the hoof we have in front of us is…

SO COMMON and so you the owner must watch out to make sure this is not happening to your horse 💕

🤔 You can’t remove the outer most protection and strongest part of an organ and expect no other part of the organism to change ❤️

Last year I totally lost my confidence riding and I don’t think it’ll ever be back to what it was. It’s been really getting in the way of me enjoying Bear who I last sat on back in May and still hadn’t even trotted on him! But a friend of a friend was visiting over the weekend and we convinced her to have a go and with her help I got back on and today I trotted on him for the first time ever! I’m so happy and grateful to Millie.

I just love this set up. 7 horses all peacefully eating or sleeping on a deep Woodchip bed across the whole barn floor. Freedom to go out for moonlit canters and play whenever they feel like it. And according to the people who live next to the track they definitely do!

Wakey…Wakey Jerry. The herd clearly love their new bed in the barn. We are so happy to see horses living their real lives. Woolley Moor Equestrian

There is new bedding in the barn - 20 tonnes of woodchip. The herd seem to love it and of course their freedom to roam the track or ‘stay in’ as the mood takes them.

Sorry to come and disturb you whilst you were having a nice lie in Spice, but from the kitchen window you definitely scared me a bit!

We opened a new length of track this week, deep in the woods. I had to be very careful I didn’t sneak up on them and make them jump when I did evening checks! I love how they immediately come to their favourite human when I call them despite how lovely their home is. Today was really hot so the were indoors in the barn all day to escape the heat and the flies - very sensible horses.

I am so glad to see this information is getting around now.

I’ve always had an interest in keeping horses barefoot and over the years I’ve trusted and left hoof care in the hands of the professionals, who do care deeply about the horses in their care and really are doing the best they can. But what we know and thought we understood about hoof care is changing, it has to, it is totally unscientific to stand still and not grow and improve knowledge. I have been learning how to trim my own horses hooves and I’m hoping to begin a professional hoof care course very soon.

Hi all

So many thanks for following us

We recently had a very reasonable request for information about whether there is a Woolley Moor at our location in Cornwall, UK.

No doubt this was because there is also a Woolley Moor in Derbyshire in the UK ….. so this was a very reasonable question!

So after a bit of digging…..

The modern OS map for the land where the WME horses live shows that Woolley Moor in North Cornwall extends to the land where our track and livery are located (3rd image).

After a bit of further digging into the history of Woolley Moor in Cornwall, we were excited to find a 1887-1905 OS map of Woolley Moor (image 1) showing the old A39 which is now the lay-by that leads to our main gates and also designating Woolley Moor.

Obviously our house built in 1927 and the equestrian facility completed between 2021-2024 are not shown on the Victorian map….where the land is designated as marshland - now drained by means of man made lakes - shown on the recent OS map (which are home to some rather large Carp, Roach and Rudd - we believe from keen amateur anglers who have spend time at WME chilling out fishing at the lakes).

Image 2 is courtesy of the latest Google Earth satellite photos of WME and shows how we relate to the original OS map of Woolley Moor in North Cornwall and perhaps also how more than 100 years have changed the local area.

On a slightly side note the river Tamar which forms the boundary between Cornwall and Devon starts on Woolley Moor as shown on the plaque in image 4 and the map of the Tamar river catchment in image 5.

So after a lot of homework we have discovered that WME is indeed on Woolley Moor where the river Tamar also has its source.

Happy days!!
