These beautiful little feet belong to an 8 day old foal… just look at them 😍

Perfect, natural, and exactly as they’re meant to be.

It really makes you stop and think.

Imagine the strength, balance, and natural function we would see in the equine world, if we worked with the hoof instead of misunderstanding and trying to change it.

And of course a photo of her, just because she’s absolutely amazing ♥️

This lovely boy has made amazing progress. It’s so good to see him using his body properly again.

We still have a way to go before he gets his new feet, but we’re getting there.

His owner put this lovely video together and I thought it was too good not to share.

As always huge thank you to his owners for trusting the process. 🐴✨

The impossible… made possible.

Who would have thought that when you correctly balance a hoof, the bones return to alignment?

In a case like this, the standard approach would often have been to keep adding more contraptions and more drugs and more box rest until every idea was exhausted and then the horse more than likely would have been put to sleep.

It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you wear high heels, what happens to the bones in your feet? They rotate.

It really is that simple. To correct it, you remove the high heels find the correct plane, and maintain it until the new balanced hoof capsule grows all the way down to the ground

I posted about this mare a few weeks ago, if you scroll up, you’ll see the first update I shared.

For those still focused on the cause of rotation being EMS or Cushing's, the results from bloods taken in January before I began any hoof care was 238. Last week it was 14. She was in pain, pain caused by imbalance in her feet.

We still have a long way to go but we are heading in the right direction, I will do another update in a few months.

As always a massive thank you to her owner for trusting the process ❤️

This work is bittersweet in ways I never expected.

Helping horses brings me so much joy and purpose, yet every horse I help is also a reminder of the one I couldn’t save. I would never walk away from this job or the horses I’ve been honored to help, but the loss of him lives quietly in everything I do.

Some days its hard, and some days it heals, but his memory is woven into my why.

He’s the reason I keep learning, growing, and giving everything I have to the horses who cross my path.

Laminitis

The equestrian worlds get out of jail card.

Did laminitis do this to this mare?

Did laminitis put metal, plastic or pieces of wood on her feet?

Did laminitis raise her heels so high she could barely walk?

No. It didn’t.

The professional in charge of her hoof care did.

Many different shoeing methods were tried in the name of “fixing” her laminitis.

Surprisingly… none of them worked.

Here she is now barefoot less than a month later learning how to use her body again.

We’re only at the beginning of this mare’s story, but I’ll share more as we go.

A huge thank you to her owner for trusting the process ❤️

This mare’s owner contacted me last week as she was lame with the lameness getting progressively worse after each trim.

I’ve added before and after photos of this mare’s feet, along with a video showing her moving on Saturday in boots on soft ground, compared to today after her trim.

This horse was trimmed by a hoof care professional two weeks ago.

Please remember this is only the very start of this mare’s journey. I’ll be sharing more updates as we continue through her rehab.

Tell me what you think was causing this mares pain?

The owner of this mare contacted me but we were unable to take the horse due to us being full

Instead we passed her onto our wonderful Hoofing Marvellous pro trimmer (Shannon Orr) of SO Natural Hoofcare

As you can see from this message the mare is doing well and the owner is delighted

It was never laminitis!!!!

Another pony starting his hoof healing journey ❤️

Mickey pony arrived and was assessed before any X-rays were taken.

A realignment trim was carried out, followed by post-trim X-rays to confirm positioning.

Mickey has gone from being effectively en pointe to standing comfortably—now more like wearing a supportive pair of loafers.

We now need to allow time for the correct healing angle to develop, which will take approximately three weeks.

This new growth will form a strong connection between P3 and the hoof wall. As the connected growth moves down the hoof capsule, it will gradually grow out the old, disconnected, and distorted capsule.
