I started trimming Jazz in January...she'd had her back shoes off for a while but the fronts had only just been taken off.

6 months after I first saw her and the fullness in her frogs now is crazy.
I think her soles were retracted in January because there was such exaggerated concavity and a little 'shelf' around the edge.
Now there is less concavity,, but the soles are definitely thicker and healthier. So I'm sure that true concavity will follow - with regular balanced trims and good stimulation. 🙏

Her owner reports that she has recently started riding her without any hoofboots for the first time ever...which, for a recently barefoot endurance horse, is pretty good going 🙌

Polo's feet have improved a lot since the first time I saw him...which was shortly after going barefoot at 25, having worn shoes probably his whole life!

Soft tissues have developed in the back of the foot which will help with shock absorption and help his heels to stand upright now instead of running forward. Lovely defined bars, tight white line, much bigger surface area at the heel with lots of stratum internum (inner hoof wall) to aid shock absorption. His sole matrix is much healthier, thicker, stronger.
The shape of the hoof is much rounder, and the hoof wall is such better quality instead of crumbling like before.

After his trim he went off to do some pole work in hand to keep his body moving 👌

Little Gizmo was lame in March with laminitis, but look at him go now - out driving last week 😍

He had pain relief/anti-inflammatories initially, and his owners fenced off an area away from the grass. He was also eating stinging nettles like they were going out of fashion! (naturally anti-inflammatory).

I came out more frequently to ensure his feet stayed balanced, and within a week he was looking much more comfortable.

They sent me update videos inbetween and we kept a close eye on him, but he continued to improve...to the point where he was able to get out driving last week (which should help with losing some more weight).
Well done to his owners for being vigilant and following professional advice 🙌❤️‍🩹

Happy with how this foot trimmed out this afternoon 😊🙌

A very large, flared, overgrown hoof! Sadly didn't manage to get an after shot as he has to he sedated and we didn't have loads of time..but it trimmed out pretty nicely ♡

His feet are interesting because his other front foot is actually smaller than my hand! He had a shoulder injury years ago that was never seen to, and he has managed it himself by using this leg to stand on mainly. Which has resulted in this foot spreading very wide to take the excess weight and support his huge body.

Free range trimming ♡

Melodys owner said that when she first got her she was so wild/scared, that no one could even do this with her restrained...let alone at loose.

Id love to claim that it was me who helped her, but this was all her lovely owners work..she has also been trimming her for years herself. And has clearly completely ressured her because its lead to someone new being able to come in and trim her little feet at liberty 🥰💕
