Trusted Hands Hoof Care

I posted a while back about the new Versa Glue Shoes that I was selected to trial @ EasyCare Inc. The Ultimate In Hoof Protection

I applied them to Brix an 11 year old Arabian that trains for and participates in 25 mile endurance races.

The hoof prep process is similar to the Easy Care Performance Shoes that I've put on Brix in the past. I found the glueing process was more simple due to the foot being on the ground while I pumped adhesive into the holes. I used a little more glue than normal but I think I'll get back to using less after a few more applications.

The cuffs being set more forward and being more rigid makes the Versa Glue shoe stay put. It also made it easy to adjust and stay in place when I got it where I wanted it.

I'm very excited to have the Versa Glue shoes available soon!

Brave as advertised!

Liam is a sweet as they come but has some issues with his trimming appointments due to bad experiences with previous farriers. Liam's mom has done everything she could do to help him get more comfortable with my stand and tools but Liam is still unsure of me.

Today Liam tried a Brave Horse CBD Kelso's Cube. This is the 1st trim he stood quietly without blowing and spooking at the sound of my tools. His over-all demeanor was calm for the whole trim. I was able to have my hoof stand next to me and pull his foot forward to finish them on the stand.

Thank you Brave Horse and Rebecca Hutson for trying something new to give Liam a great trimming experience (he was even Brave enough to touch my stand after his trim 🙌). 🤍❤🤍

Recently EasyCare Inc. The Ultimate in Hoof Protection posted that they were seeking hoof care professionals to test their new EasyShoe Versa Glue shoe. I submitted an application and was chosen! 🎉

I'm super excited to trial the pair of new EasyShoe Versa Glue shoes that they sent me. I have a few horses in mind that I would like to try these on but need to make sure the pair I received will fit properly. I'm looking forward to seeing how the application process goes and how these perform. 🐎

Stay tuned! 🙌

Wishing all of my friends and clients a very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year! All of your kindness and generosity this Christmas season and throughout the year has me feeling blessed that I get to do this amazing job. I'm beyond thankful for my extended family of people, horses (big, small and every size in-between), donkeys, goats, llamas, and cows!

Merry Christmas!🎄🕊✝️

I think baby Michelle was a little curious and a little jealous that mama was getting attention today. LOL!

This beautiful mare got a set of FormaHoof applied to her front feet this week.

Her heels are under-run, flat soled and previous radiographs showed her coffin bone is ground parallel. FormaHoof supports the entire hoof which encourages healing the whole foot. Looking forward to seeing her progress!

I'm super excited to offer FormaHoof to my clients! This is an innovative technology that supports the whole hoof. If you're interested in more information about this product feel free to reach out to me.

I can't thank Molly Arvin enough for helping me get this lovely gelding into his 1st set of FormaHoof! I've already heard from his owner that he's loving this setup! WOOHOO!

Barefeet frozen in time! 😍😍

I had a great time tonight working with Jackie Bowler to get one of her clients setup in his 1st set of FormaHoof on his front feet.

Charlie is a 14 year old OTTB that has long toes, low heels and thin soles. Jackie's done a fantastic job keeping him barefoot but is excited to see the changes he can make in FormaHoof. Jackie was able to take his toes back for this trim since he was going into FormaHoof.

He walked off happy on the concrete back to his stall in his new FormaHoof! 🙌 Looking forward to hearing about his progress!

Keep them 🐎 hydrated 💦 in these bitter cold temps 🌬

Did you know...

That decreased water consumption is thought to be the primary inducing factor for impaction colic -- especially in the winter when most horses drink less water.
