Good farriers are like gold dust and should be generally prized and looked after. Try not to frighten them off...

With Lockdown easing and safety measures in place I am now beginning to increase my workload. Please feel free to call if you are worried about future visits or want to know more about the procedures I have in place to ensure social distancing whilst shoeing your horse. I Currently have availability to take on a couple of new clients. Please feel free to phone to discuss.

DID YOU KNOW...

-for every 1 centimeter of extra toe length- this results in an extra 50 kilograms of force acting on the tendons

-1 degree drop in sole angle where the DDFT inserts into the coffin bone (affected by Palmar Angle) can lead to a 4% increase in the pressure exerted by the DDFT on the Navicular bone

These simple facts highlight how important it is to keep your horses on tight shoeing schedule and receive correct trimming/shoeing to give them a long and successful career.
