Spring! Coats are shedding, more sun sleeping and lots of fresh grass..

This old horse, the Rancher said,
She’s seen some better days,
She’s eating up my profits
And costs a lot for hay.

Another horse would suit me
A stronger one at that
She’s seen a lot of miles
Like my cowboy hat.

This old horse, the Rancher said,
She helped me herd my steer
I’m pretty sure she’s magic
I know I hold her dear.

Another horse would suit me
One that can run fast
Maybe one that’s younger
Or maybe one that lasts.

This old horse, the Rancher said,
She’s long and far in tooth
My children do remember
Her fondly from their youth.

Another horse would suit me
A gelding in its prime
One that needs less fixing
That helps me save a dime!

Why, they ask, then keep her?
Why not trade her now?
Bring her to an auction,
Replace her with a cow?

The Rancher’s brow grew heavy
He took a staggered step
His eyes did show his friendship
In wrinkles, as they crept.

His breath, he took in deeply
As he poised to say his words
It’s as if the earth grew silent,
That his message could be heard.

This old horse, the Rancher said
Has given me her life.
I would not trade for anything
Nor either would my wife.

Another horse would suit me,
And perhaps someday will come,
But this old gal, I love her,
She is the chosen one.

The old horse, the Rancher said
Her services she did lend
Her and I have seen the years
This old horse, she is my friend.

Another horse would suit me well
And younger days for me
And I will keep my promise,
Until our last breath sets us free.

Hoof care advances. Love this. Humans innovating out of a steel age

Did you know?

The EVO Hoof Boot can be adjusted in multiple ways to suit most hoof conformation types. This is done with heat adaptation to accommodate flares, conformational abnormalities or in the case above, steeper/more upright than normal hoof angles.

Our boots can also be widened by heat adapting the middle "V" section. The boots can be made more narrow by removing a piece of this "V" section and melting the boot back together.

If your boots are twisting, this is another reason to consider heat adapting them. For very serious twists, it is recommended to cut a "window" at the toe to stabilize it.

Our EVO Hoof Boots are currently priced at R3800 per pair and we carry stock from very small to very large. WhatsApp Christine on 0733895245 for sizing advice and to view our return and exchange policy.

Konan loved his healing session with Louise. It's always interesting to see how other herd members feel attracted to the sessions, especially when there is alot of processing and release. Wonks was particularly insistent and sent a WhatsApp to 😆❤️
