20.01.2022 Big day today keeping these top performance horses feet in good shape so they can keep up with their intense work load

19.01.2022 These are some before and after photos of a pony that I trimmed that has had laminitis multiple times and hadn’t been trimmed in approximately 10 months . He will be feeling much better now after a trim and ready for his new home

12.01.2022 This 3* event horse has just recovered from a suspensory injury and is now back into light work . So I have applied the jim blurton suspensory aluminium shoe aswell as a copper sulphate soleguard to help with concussion. So he should be back up and running in no time

07.01.2022 Key: Important structures affected by the nails: a) coffin bone penetration b) Deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) penetration c) Coffin joint and DDFT penetratio...n d) DDFT, navicular bursa and navicular bone penetration e) tendon sheath penetration f) digital cushion penetration (less serious) Follow up Answer to Nail in Foot Case Study: There are many important and sensitive structures that are in the hoof capsule that if infected could potentially affect long term soundness and even be life threatening to your horse. It is impossible to tell where a nail is traveling by the look of the nail from the outside of the foot. The most concerning structures a nail could penetrate are: 1) The coffin joint 2) the navicular bursa (a bursa is a joint like structure that eases the motion of a tendon over a bony structure) 3) tendon sheath (a tendon sheath is another joint like structure that eases and lubricates the motion of tendons) 4) the deep digital flexor tendon- this tendon runs down the back of the leg, enters the hoof capsule runs behind the navicular bone and attaches on the bottom of the coffin bone 5) the coffin bone. In this case it is very possible this nail is penetrating both the deep digital flexor tendon as well as the navicular bursa. Infection of any of the 5 things above can lead to life threatening complications if aggressive treatment is not provided therefore it is imperative that your veterinarian know where the nail has traveled and what structures could possibly be involved. Some nails can be removed, the foot treated for a routine abscess and very easily resolved. Some nails can necessitate surgery and hospital care so that the horse has the best chance at soundness and survival. Take home message: if you find a nail in your horse's foot, call the vet immediately and have radiographs taken so that the best possible care can be provided to your horse.

05.01.2022 A few before and after photos of a new horse this morning . He will be feeling a lot more comfortable now
