Monday I had a little assistant.
Gotta start them young! I can see him being great help in about 9 years! 🤓

🌟 Shout out to Flash’s mom! 🌟 He had trouble standing still for his trims which is hard on a farrier’s body. He wasn’t sassy, but he just didn’t fully understand what was expected of him despite regular trims. His amazing mom worked with him consistently and today was our best trim session ever! I barely broke a sweat, which was amazing in the 87* heat.

Be like Flash’s mom and work with your horse on picking up feet for longer periods of time (not just to pick them out quick) as well as bringing the front feet forward and placing them on an object and leaving them there simulating putting them on the hoof jack.

"Hoofcare isn't rocket science," I have often heard people say. The implication being that it isn't hard to do.

They are right. It isn't rocket science.

It's biomechanical engineering.
It's trigonometry.
It's physics.
It's advanced biology.
It's living sculpture.
It's geometry.
It's psychology.
And, above all else, it is art... because sometimes all the mathematics in the world aren't enough for the horse. And it is our job to hear them speak when they tell us they need something different. Something more than what we expected.

They are right. It isn't rocket science. We aren't sending anyone to the moon, or to space.

Instead, we are improving the lives of those here on earth, right now. Those without a common tongue to tell us what they need. Those who suffer at our hands more often than we want to admit. Those who we try our best for. Those who try their best for us, always.

No, it isn't rocket science. It is so, so much more.

I love summer 🥴🥲

As we go into our warmer months ... This is your reminder.

Check in with your farriers. These summer months are harder on us than the winter months. The heat will exhaust us faster. The flies and the horses stomping against flies will drive us to loss patients quicker than you realize. The amount of patience will run out quick when you've been slashed in the face for the 20th time. You've been yanked around because the horse is trying to aim at a fly. As clients... buy the good fly spray... yes the expensive fly spray. If anything only use it during farrier appointments.

Hand us bottles of water. Don't ask if we want some because most of us just automatically say no. if we don't drink the water right then and there eventually we will when it's sitting in our hand or by our rig. Me personally I struggle to get enough water in my system during the heat of the summer.

Fans .... not simple box fans..... the fans that push air life a wind!!! If you can provide fan and shade you just made life a little bit easier. The fans won't only keep us a bit cooler, but also keep flies away. Shade to keep us protected from the sun will help decrease the risk of heat exhaustion.

So please check in on your farriers as we go into the summer months. Because it truly is some of the roughest months.
