With the rainy season approaching, as a horse owner I make it a habit to keep my horses feet free of rocks and muck. I add my thrush clay and call it a day. DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR HORSES FEET THIS RAINY SEASON.

Honestly, five years ago, I wouldn’t have saw myself wanting to try to open up my own business. I thought I would be a truck driver for the rest of my life. I’m so glad I got off the road. Being home on the ranch and learning a new trade that can benefit me and my family at the ranch, but could also be a really satisfying career and business. The best part about it is I make my own schedule and I’m home more. Being home more has been a big priority the past couple of years. I am glad I took the leap and believed in myself to be able to do something like this.

Hindlimb lameness is often more subtle and harder to diagnose than forelimb lameness. Understanding your horse's strengths and faults can help you tailor your exercise program and have better conversations with your veterinarian and farrier.

I'd like to introduce Cutter, an 18-year-old who requires regular maintenance. During trimming, he exhibits endearing behavior and stands very well. I particularly loved how sweet he was! He was licking the top of my hat lol. His hooves show a couple of cracks in the quarters and toe areas of both front and hind hooves, resulting from white line separation. I love a hard hoof, although it's harder to work with, but this also means no thrush and a healthy frog. I still added a little thrush medicine to prevent anything during this rainy season.
To promote hoof wall growth and prevent further issues, I recommend trimming every 3 to 4 weeks for now until I see some results. Over time, we can assess the possibility of extending the trimming schedule. To ensure consistency, I encourage clients to schedule their appointments in advance. I value your time and assure you that I will be punctual and reliable for all scheduled appointments.

Please text or DM me on my page and I'll be sure to respond to you ASAP.
