Fabulous example of the difference in "flexibility" of a steel shoe vs composite. I am not anti steel, I am anti caudal foot support. There are instances when horses need the stability of steel and other where they need the flexibility.

ProSix does it again! This sweet guy was struggling to get comfortable. He has been very braced in his body due to front hoof pain. After getting him comfortable in his feet I noticed he was still struggling in his body, so I pulled out my ProSix and allowed him to just stand in it at liberty. You can see in his pic(photos in comments) when I 1st put on the ProSix that his eyes are worried, lips are pierced, and nostrils are flared. Then he had some of the best releases(video) I've seen after about 10 min of just standing in the ProSix. This after pic you can see softer eyes, relaxed bottom lip, and resting nostrils. Thank you ProSix for helping this guy out! We will be using the ProSix during trims and composite resets.

I will be out of town this weekend for a continuing education clinic. I am headed to another whole horse dissection. I learned so incredibly much from my 1st dissection...yes, I know i need to still post about it...but struggled a bit due to it be a client. This dissection I do not know the horse, just the background and trust me this horse has a lot to teach as well.

If it is an emergency and you need me please text with a header of "EMERGENCY" and I will get back to you ASAP.

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding ❤️

🎶"Sugar...oh honey honey"🎶

You all have heard me say it and now its that time of year again. The grass is coming up and I'm already starting to see affects on some horses. Our next talk will be grazing muzzles.

Here is a FREE webinar to help owners learn more about the affects sugar has on their horses.

Genesis for to try out the new ProSix from EagleProSix.
Genesis has DSLD and last year was diagnosed with PPID. She constantly struggled with her weight, she was rather overweight. After starting on Prascend she lost a lot of fat and it became clear that she had more fluff than muscle. Now we are working on rebuilding topline and hind end, so I ordered a ProSix to help get her going.

This was her 1st session. I realized the medium was a little too big, so a small had been ordered for future use. But even with it being slightly too big she really seemed to enjoy it. I put it on her and then we went for a short walk and even walked over some ground poles. She cleared every one when before she was struggling to get hind feet over. I left her in the ProSix to eat dinner then took a picture of her standing after. She was in the ProSix for maybe about a hour.

You can see the difference in the way she is holding herself and how she is standing more square. We will continue working with the ProSix and charting our progress.

Its been a busy week and its not over yet. I've been working since my plane landed Monday so I haven't really taken the time to process all the emotions and amazing things I learned over last weekend. Please give me a little time and I promise I will share some of the info. Until then please know Otis is at rest and say a little prayer for his mom. She gave us a incredible gift, knowledge, through Otis.
