Bruising

This is the front foot of Friday, she has really sensitive feet and is susceptible to bruising. It only takes a stone the size of a lentil to get stuck underneath her pads to make her very lame. Look at the bruising that I found this last time, and this is with pads on!

A very flared hind foot

This is the first time I went to see Maddison a young horse recently bought by Hilly Smith. She's a lovely horse but just needed a little work on her hind feet. They're good quality feet but really off balance and with some extreme flares. This is the change I made in the first shoeing and I hope to keep making improvements.

I spent last summer testing out a new Fly Repellent going from what people have said there are loads on the market but very few make much of a difference. I have been really impressed with this 100% Natural Repellent it seems to be very affective at keeping the flies at bay. It is very safe on yours or your horses skin. (you can even spray it straight into your mouth it's that natural!)

As a result of many clients having good results last year I'm going to carry on selling the limited supply that I have. Only 40 bottles left so get in quick if you want some.

I'm selling it at....

 

1 for £15

 

2 for £25

 

3 for £30

Overgrown Feet

These are the feet of a four year old that was really in need of trimming. Although there's a huge improvement there is still more work to do next time, you can't get rid of all the distortions in one go.
