✨ Chiro Day for the Herd! ✨
Even our four-legged team members deserve a little self-care. We’re hauling the crew to get chiroed today so they stay happy, healthy, and ready for all the western adventures ahead. 🐴🤎

Taking care of our horses is just as important as picking the perfect outfit—because when they feel good, we all shine a little brighter.

🐴💛 Your turn: What’s your horse’s favorite way to be pampered?

A ‘small’ seedy toe resection on a donkey.

Seedy Toe is when a fungus and bacteria combine within the hoof capsule and they have a party, where the food of choice is the hoof and they don’t stop eating!

Why are donkeys more likely to get seedy toe?

Well donkey feet aren’t designed to be in wet conditions (ie Northern Europe) and subsequently it doesn’t take much for a hole to appear in the hooves and then the fun begins.

On the bright side donkeys are pretty hard core and by taking away the hoof wall (as seedy toe thrives in anaerobic conditions), allows oxygen to get to the area, effectively killing it. Now if this was a horse we would have to put a bar shoe in it and probably a copper sulphate patch, as their feet wouldn’t be able to take this sort of treatment without putting some support there, however as I said donkeys are hard core and as such this hoof will be fine in a few months!

It’s National Farriers Week!

Farriers work hard year-round to provide quality hoof care for your horses and play a key role in your horse’s soundness and performance. Horse’s feet are vital to their overall health. We encourage you to show your gratitude not only this week but year-round to the professional who helps keep your horse upright and sound!

Show appreciation for your farrier throughout the year by following these simple steps!

1. Provide a safe location for working on your horse. Ideally this means a clean, well-lit, level work area for handling needs. Uneven ground can also impact the ability to be accurate on balanced trims.

2. Have horses caught and ready to go prior to your farrier’s arrival. Allow yourself time to remove any blankets, fly boots, etc. and have them properly groomed/cleaned so your farrier isn’t waiting on you.

3. Have your payment ready the day of your horse’s appointment. And go ahead and schedule the next appointment before your farrier leaves. This is not only courteous of their time but also helps keep your horse’s feet maintained on a consistent schedule which can prevent hoof and performance issues from arising!

4. As the owner, it is your responsibility to make sure your horse has good manners when having their feet handled. Oftentimes, it’s best to hold your horse for your farrier’s safety. If you are not available, always have someone available to keep nervous or ill-behaved horses calm during the appointment.

5. Take the time and make the effort to say “thanks” for a job well done! Even simple offers such as a cold beverage on a hot day makes a difference.

Always remember a good farrier is an important part of your horse’s team. Building a solid relationship with your farrier can help set your horse up for success!
