This is Geordie. He is an 11year old stock horse cross, who I have owned and ridden for 8 years. He came to me as a very green 3year old....

Can Hoof Boots Aid in Navicular Recovery?
Posted on
A real advantage of keeping a horse barefoot is preserving his heels from all the friction and wear from moving against the shoe, according to farrier and veterinarian Stephen O’Grady of Northern Virginia Equine in the U.S, read how Hoof Boots can assist in navicular recovery.
The horse’s heel is an exciting structure. Like the rest of the horse’s foot, it’s designed to absorb shock in a way that protects all the tissues above it all...

Shoes were not really working for Dancealong. Despite being on high quality hoof supplements and balanced nutrition he has a slow rate of hoof growth. The hooves would crack up to the nail holes and the shoe would fall off taking out a big chunk of wall in the process.

Thrush and More
Posted on
Yeast infections are the "more" of this article, and I see more of it than I'd certainly like to see and mostly it goes undiagnosed and untreated. What can happen is that the "mystery" lameness perpetuates and has even ended in premature euthanasia of the horse.
My last article I wrote was on "Thrush, White Line Disease and more ..." In the article, I discussed, briefly, how yeast can invade horses' hooves making them lame. Yeast...
