Oh you know just horsing around. Making some shoes.

Mid may I took on this horse named Curlin. This poor horse and owner went through a struggle with getting his hooves squared away. As you can see from the before X-rays Crulin did founder and his toe was left way to long. With this horse I applied a heart bar shoe along with trimming to his natural confirmation. Last week Sunday the 7/18/21 was his 3rd shoeing. After this shoeing the owner had the vet out to do some blood work and too take a new set of X-rays and as you can see the after photos are night and day. The measurements of sole growth we got since mid may we are very pleased with and listed as fallowed.
Left 9.6 mm of sole growth, right 9.1 moof sole growth.
I’m very happy to also state that the owner can finally bring her horse back into work after having him off of work for 2 years due to the number off issues he’s had along with his hoof issues.

Well I got called out on a horse with some lameness issues the horse supposedly had an abscess. So I took some thermal images today I found that the horse didn’t have an abscess but had a small piece of wood kind of like a twig lodged into the frog no damage to the frog just slight discomfort. Along with that she had low heels a longer toe and as you can see in the images of the legs you can see more heat and stress in the joints and where the tendons attach to the joints so I threw some front shoes on this horse to get her a little more upright along with backing up the toe and I will be following up with this horse in two weeks to see how she’s doing.
