Texas Professional Farrier needs - they are working horseback on search and recovery and their horseshoe supplies are getting thin.

“Well-shod has set up a donation fund you can donate directly through them for the “TPFA Disaster Fund” we can use that fund not only for shoeing supplies, but first aid materials for the horses as they’re getting pretty scraped up throughout the day. Well-Shod is also discounting everything we order through that fund so we can stretch it further”
Well-Shod number is 806-322-3680. Just give them a call and they can take your donation over the phone.

💝What better time to celebrate the strength and spirit of our incredible community than during Farriers Week?

Our hearts are with all those affected by the devastating floods that have swept across Texas. While relief is arriving in many forms, we are especially proud of the remarkable efforts by our local chapter— the Texas Professional Farriers Association!

🔨Amid the chaos, farriers have stepped up in extraordinary ways. Many farriers have selflessly donated their time, tools, and expertise to support search and rescue teams and ensure the health and readiness of the horses leading those missions. Their dedication is making a real difference in the lives of many.

In times of crisis, it’s communities like ours that remind us of the power of compassion and action. Head over to their website (link below) to find out ways you can help! Follow their page for more updates on their efforts!

❔Did you know❔
Every extra 1cm of toe length results in -
🔹an extra 50KG of force acting on the tendons
🔹a -1° drop in sole angle where the DDFT inserts into the coffin bone can lead to a 4% increase in the pressure exerted by the DDFT on the navicular bone
