Regular farrier appointments aren't a luxury, they are a necessity for your equine companion's lifelong welfare.

❔Did you know❔
Every extra 1cm of toe length results in -
🔹an extra 50KG of force acting on the tendons
🔹a -1° drop in sole angle where the DDFT inserts into the coffin bone can lead to a 4% increase in the pressure exerted by the DDFT on the navicular bone

Safety first!

Wishing all our customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year, thank you for your continued support and we look forward to working with you throughout 2022

Wooden clogs I made and fitted for this Chronic laminitic with DIM and finished with hoof casting material, initial response is good, fingers crossed for this one 🤞

Helping out this little guy today suffering with Laminitis caused by EMS, I used an aluminium heart bar utilising the frog as a weight bearing structure, complimented with dental impression materal for support and applied them using casting tape as nailing would have been uncomfortable for him. Walked off much more comfortable so fingers crossed 🤞

Wishing all Clients a Merry Christmas and a happy new year !! Thank you for the continued support throughout this difficult year and fingers crossed things improve for us all in the next 🤞

All the best Hue & Roly

COVID 19 UPDATE

I am continuing to attend appointments as usual, I am following current guidelines and i ask that you do the same, if you are particularly vulnerable or showing any signs or symptoms please do let me know and we make alternative arrangements if neccessary.

If i feel it is safe to do so, i would rather you didnt attend your next appointment and if you do, keep a safe distance from myself and others whilst i am working.

Be safe out there !

Spider bars & dental impression material on this chronic laminitis diagnosed with EMS, More pedal bone rotation and a bigger laminal wedge on the right fore however after 3 shoeings these have improved dramatically.
