When you've hurt your back, trimmer Sam can step in.. He did my 5 yesterday no worries. Think it might be his next profession or take on a relief position for me.

To all my wonderful clients.. I might be a bit late on getting to your hooves this month, trying to heal. Hope you understand and can be patient. Thankyou

We all have seen the horses that have mismatched feet. I've even heard people say "wow, it looks like the farrier trimmed the feet completely differently!" as if the high/low appearance came from the trim or shoeing alone. I've even seen that appearance blamed for lameness. But the majority of the time, mismatched or "high/low" hooves are a symptom of something going on the body.

A few weeks ago, I started interviewing for a series of "case study success stories," of hoof rehab cases where things went right. Because we all need a little hope now and then! For this week's podcast episode, I reached out to Rachel Thompson, a hoofcare provider in Georgia, about her interesting journey with a high/low case. We chatted about all the diagnostics and approaches she tried, what they ended up finding in their investigation, and how the horse is doing now.

You can hear the entire conversation on any podcast app under "The Humble Hoof," or directly at this link: https://thehumblehoof.com/2025/05/23/case-study-high-low-and-not-quite-right/

Time to get out your hoof treatments for prevention of thrush and seedy toe. Better to prevent starting NOW... the wet is coming!!
Start cleaning out your horses hooves ideally daily, apply spray or hoof clay.
There are many home made solutions you can use.
Spray: copper sulphate and water or apple cider vinegar
Clay or paste: copper sulphate and vaseline or natural clay (I have some clay available if you would like to order some)
Pm me if you need advice or any questions on what you can use.
DON'T FORGET GOOD MINERALS ALSO HELP KEEP HOOF INFECTIONS AWAY!
I stock Balanced Equine Minerals if you need any.

One of those magic mornings where I just get to be with my horses. It's my favourite thing just sitting with them in their spot.
And of course their weekly trim session, gosh those little sticky flies can P*e off now, they DO actually bite!
