05.01.2022 So last Wednesday I was given the opportunity to share my passion of shoeing horses to a group of police officers that showed an interest in the role of the Farrier . We covered distal limb anatomy, a basic dissection out lining tendons,ligaments,bones and blood supply to the foot . After a break we went though the exercise of nailing shoes on cadaver legs and then removing them , giving them a feel of doing this task in the field . This is a skill which would be needed in an emergency,all of the participants embraced this task with enthusiasm. It’s so refreshing to share something with people that are truly interested in the welfare of the horse . What a day Mounted Police Western Australia. Thank you .Kim Broad Tania Broad
