Beckie Mabbutt

This is something new to me, so I'm ready to learn. This thoroughbred has an immune system issue that has caused all his coronary bands to become highly inflamed and raw. It is treated topically, but due to the hoof wall growing from the coronary band I can see this being a long term issue due to what growth we will now have growing down.

Many thanks to all of you that came to support me at my most recent lecture in East Grinstead.

There were six lectures and I was first up. I was really pleased with how it went and kept control of my nerves as the audience was roughly 240 people!

Looking forward to my next opportunity to lecture.

After the success of the last two educational evenings, The Farriery Practice are holding another client evening with the topic being "Laminitis". We are hoping to have 3 half an hour lectures from a farrier, vet and nutritionists. We're hoping to give you some practical first aid advise and some early signs so this traumatic condition can be avoided.

Although a free event Places are limited so if you are interested in joining us please get in touch to confirm you place.

Below is a bare foot horse that over the past 5 months has developed this irregular patch of sole. There is no sensitivity or lameness caused by it, no discharge but it is a very different consistency to regular tough sole. I'm looking into what this may be.
