If your farrier keeps a strict schedule or asks to shorten your horse's cycle....its not a control thing, its not a money grab...they have the best interest of your horse in mind!

For every 1 cm of excess toe length, the soft tissues—specifically the deep digital flexor tendon, the superficial digital flexor tendon, and the suspensory ligaments—have to take on an additional 110 lbs of tension. If the soft tissues are already compromised by injury, conformational flaws, strain from work load etc the effects of "being long" could be severe.

Pictured below is the growth from just a 4 week trim on my personal horse!🤯 Seasonal change, weather, exercise etc can have a significant impact on their growth....clearly seen here.

When your mom is a farrier so you have to test out all the new things she wants to try. Today I got to test out the freedom shoe glue ons!

I finally caved and got my next pair of works boots! BRUNT Workwear boots are the only boots I will work in! Cant wait to wear them all weekend at the Midwest Horse Fair.

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter from Iron Mare Horseshoeing,
