🚀 Hope Got Her Space Boots! 🐴✨ This sweet girl has been through a lot. Due to severe hoof neglect before she was rescued, the separation and damage to her feet left her standing directly on her soles — with no cushion, no support, and no safe hoof wall to nail or glue to. 😞So… we got creative.I built her a set of what I like to call “space boots” using foam board and duct tape. They’re not fancy, but they cushion her soles and relieve pressure while we work to grow and correct her hooves back to a healthy state.Not all farrier work is glamorous — sometimes it’s duct tape, patience, and a whole lot of heart 💛We’re in it for the long haul, and Hope’s journey is just getting started.Follow along for Part 3 of her recovery!

This sweet girl was rescued just this past weekend by one of my amazing clients.Unfortunately, Hope is a mess due to years of neglect. One of her coffin bones has already rotated several degrees, which tells us just how long she’s been struggling without proper hoof care.But we’re not giving up on her. With therapeutic trims every 3 weeks, close daily monitoring, and lots of love, we’re giving Hope a real shot at a sound and comfortable life.She deserves it — and then some.I’ll be documenting her progress along the way, so if you want to follow her journey, be sure to like and follow this page 💛�Let’s give this girl the second chance she’s been waiting for.

🎉🐴 Happy New Year! Wishing all of you and your four-legged friends a year filled with happiness, health, and success. Let’s kick off 2025 on the right hoof! 🎊

As we settle into winter here in New England, it’s important to think about how the season’s challenges affect our horses. Icy areas and uneven, frozen ground can lead to slips, strains, and unrealized back issues. This is the perfect time to consider chiropractic care for your horse! We’re fortunate to have some fantastic equine chiropractors in the area who can help keep your horse feeling their best.

Where I come in is hoof care – an essential part of winter health. Hard, frozen ground and muddy conditions can lead to abscesses, chips and cracks which can be painful and frustrating for both you & your horse. I’m here to treat abscesses, fix cracks get rid of those unwanted chips and keep those hooves healthy! 🛠️

I also offer snow packages to help prevent slip and falls that give your horse the traction they need to navigate icy and snow covered surfaces safely. ❄️🐾

Let’s work together to make this winter as comfortable as possible for your horses. Message me today to book your next appointment, and let’s keep those hooves happy and healthy all year long! 🐴💙
