2012, End May
It is challenging not to stop and stare at
the feet of every passing horse! My
precision hoof pick always close at hand – flare is a thing of fascination for
me. Apparently ‘flare begets flare’ yet
why don’t farriers seem to know this and deal with it?
My Pete Ramey DVD's are my constant companion so too, any article I can download by KC.
My discussions about feet with Kat are highlights of my month. She is here every 3 weeks as Grace has been wearing Wraps on her hinds to help her feet be stimulated to grow - Kat is worried I can tell, if our 'stumpy' hind foot will grow properly. She felt the wraps would give it the best chance so we will see.
I've been walking her daily in her soul mate pads (as recommended back in February) for 20 minutes. I'm armed with Silvetrasol spray and clean trax for keeping her feet clean and free from bacteria. It's hard work - I had no idea quite how much time it takes to really properly look after four feet. Best advise I can give - buy a farrier wire brush but DONT brush your own hand with it - bleeds for days!
