24.01.2022 Cricket seems very interested in pushing my hat off my head, this was the 3rd time he did it. Getting so much more confidence.

21.01.2022 Today were practicing goat agility

21.01.2022 Last chance to jump in for the 6 week online course course, starts tomorrow!

21.01.2022 Last chance to jump into the maintenance trimming course starting tomorrow!

21.01.2022 Ive been heat fitting a lot of scoot boots lately, very handy for club feet and those that just dont quite fit the boots. The handsome Milo (mudlark) has had his second trim after his few weeks of training, hes going so well, the power of positive reinforcement and giving the learner choice! Hes still looking for a new home, if youre interested please send a pm before he heads back home.

21.01.2022 Baby Ollie got left behind when the herd went out to graze. Growing up in a secure herd he has no separation anxiety when they leave him, he feels safe knowing they will be back or he can go find them if he needs to.

20.01.2022 Hoof casts on this lovely big boy. He’s moving so much better after 3 applications!

19.01.2022 Worms! The other big issue in spring. Resistance to chemical wormers is becoming more and more of a problem, and with no new class of drug likely to be made any time soon, we need to take action now. Worming your horses randomly with whichever paste is on special is not going to cut it. Worming every 6-12 weeks is no longer recommend and neither is rotational worming. ... So what do we do? We use fecal egg counts to determine which horses to worm, when, and with which class of drug. Some horses may only need it once a year and others more frequently. We can use FECs to check if the drug were using is effective and if the worms are becoming more resistant. With our large herd Ive decided I need to do my own counts as its not feasible to collect samples from every horse and get them in to be tested in a timely manner. I did my first today and Im a bit shocked by the results! One pony who is lighter and struggled a little with winter, I thought would have a high count. It was 150 which is in the realms of low (200 or over is considered worth worming). The other who is over weight and did well over winter had a count of 975! If I had been worming based on condition alone I would have been very wrong and added to the drug resistance in my herd. I highly recommend you have a good read through the Evidenced Based Worming website (link in comments) and if you havent already start getting a FEC done before you worm your horses. I will be offering FECs to my clients now, so feel free to check with me before your horse is booked in for a trim and can help you with collecting a clean sample.

19.01.2022 Hi all! Id love to get your opinion on training videos. Currently Ive been making full length training videos with no edits, so you can see every training session from start to finish, they go for an average of 5 minutes. Would you prefer this, or longer edited videos showing the whole process but not all the repetitions?

17.01.2022 On the day please.. .Have your horse out of the paddock and ready to be trimmed, I endeavour to be on time for you, please be on time for me .If you need feed o...r hay, have it ready to go and have extra so you dont run out mid trim .Please dont wash your horses legs or body! unless you have time to fully dry them, if muddy clean with a towel or brush (wet legs are hard to hold and we get wet clothes trying to hold them) .Provide shade or shelter depending on weather conditions .Please dont take your horses buddy away mid trim, I need the horse to be calm and still .Please put your dogs, children, husbands with power tools and mowers away if your horse is not ok with them .Please have fly spray handy in summer .Please remove wet dirty rugs .Have a flat dry area for me to work on Thank you

17.01.2022 Next online course is set for Monday the 31st! The course is self paced so you can keep up week to week or go through the resources when you have time. You will have access to the information after the course is finished too. Some reviews from the last group.... How did you feel about your hoof care knowledge/ability before the course? I knew the basics but not much about trimming. How do you feel about you hoof care knowledge/ability after the course? More confident that I know what to look for and rasp accordingly. What was the part of the course that really stuck with you? The hoof mapping was very useful, as well as the x-rays of badly deformed feet. How did you find the presentation and running of the course, was it easy to follow etc? The presentation was excellent, the videos were really useful, especially the position for rasping. Also learned that the raps only worked one way. Thank you. How did you feel about your hoof care knowledge/ability before the course? Could recognise seedy toe but that was it. How do you feel about you hoof care knowledge/ability after the course? So much better! Can recognise frog features that need care, understand the whole white line thing, am now scrubbing hoof sole and frog each time. What was the part of the course that really stuck with you? SEEING THE BONE INSIDE THE HOOF BUT OUTSIDE THE HOOF OH MY GOD How did you find the presentation and running of the course, was it easy to follow etc? Totes awesome.

17.01.2022 Best buds. I dont know why the mules insist on sleeping on concrete!

16.01.2022 LICKING & CHEWING SUBMISSION OR STRESS? For #TBT There is a popular belief amongst some natural horsemanship trainers that if a horse is licking and chewing... during training they are submitting to the trainer. Some even believe the horse then sees them as their leader. One example is the practice of driving a horse forward in a round pen until they stop fleeing and start licking their lips and chewing repetitively. This chewing is then interpreted as submissive behaviour. Many trainers are using this behaviour as a way to measure how well their training is working, but this is only an assumption as there is little scientific research available on this topic. Making assumptions about horse behaviour in this way is very dangerous ground and can often compromise horse welfare. Last week at the International Society for Equitation Science (ISES) conference a fascinating study was presented that finally addresses this topic. I want to say a huge well done to Margrete Lie and her team for being prepared to tackle this touchy subject. I have written a press release for ISES on the study: "Horses sometimes lick and chew during training and this has often been interpreted as a sign that the horse is learning or showing submission to the trainer. However, a new study suggests that this non-nutritive licking and chewing behaviour is a natural behaviour that is shown after a stressful situation. To gain insight into the function of licking and non-nutritive chewing behaviour in horses, a team of equine scientists from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences observed the social behaviour of feral horses under natural conditions. M.Sc. Margrete Lie and Prof. Ruth Newberry spent 80 hours observing feral horse herds in Ecuador and collected data on 202 sequences of behaviour when licking and chewing behaviour occurred. Margrete Lie presented her findings at the 14th International Society of Equitation Science (ISES) conference in Rome last week. The team wanted to investigate whether non-nutritive chewing was performed to signal submission to another horse and also to study whether horses performed the behaviour between stressed and calm situations. To find out whether non-nutritive chewing was performed to signal submission the researchers tested the idea that when one horse (the aggressor) approached another horse (the recipient) in a threatening manner, the recipient but not the aggressor would perform the behaviour. The team observed and recorded different behavioural sequences that involved aggressive interactions (for example if one horse herded or threatened another) and recorded whether the chewing behaviour was performed by either horse. The results were fascinating: the team found that the chewing behaviour was performed by both the approaching and the recipient horses. Non-nutritive chewing was actually performed more often by the aggressor than the recipient, refuting the assumption this behaviour is a submissive signal. The researchers also investigated whether non-nutritive chewing occurred between tense and relaxed situations. When observing the horses behavioural sequences, they found that the majority of the behaviours before chewing were tense and the majority of behaviours after chewing were relaxed. The chewing behaviour occurred when the horses transitioned from a tense to a relaxed state. The researchers concluded that chewing could be associated with a switch from a dry mouth caused by stress (sympathetic arousal) to salivation associated with relaxation (parasympathetic activity). The results of this study suggest that non-nutritive chewing was not used as a submissive signal by horses in the contexts observed, but it occurred after a tense situation, likely as a response to a dry mouth. The research team acknowledge that further research is required to measure the stress responses associated with non-nutritive chewing. However, this study does highlight that licking and chewing likely occurs after a stressful situation and may be used as a behavioural indicator that the previous situation was perceived as stressful by the horse." To view the ISES position statement on the use/misuse of leadership and dominance concepts in horse training please visit: https://equitationscience.com//position-statement-on-the-u). From researcher Margrete Lie: We looked at feral horses living with as little human interference as possible to see how they behaved in their natural habitat. It was important to look at completely natural behaviour and therefore we wanted to see horses living without restriction. These horses were living in a 334 km2 national park, and in the area we observed there were a little under 200 horses. No stallions had been removed from the population as is so common in domestic horses. It was interesting to see how often the horses performed the chewing behaviour and also how clear it was that all individuals did chew not only submissive individuals. The study showed that the horses were chewing between calm and relaxed situations, but it does not say if chewing comes as a response to relaxing or if chewing helps them relax. To able to look at this more closely I believe a more controlled study with stress measurements is needed. Researchers: M. Lie 1,2* and R.C. Newberry 1 1.

15.01.2022 The real reason horses, and tiny ponies, need to be able to canter pirouette. This was mutual happy play too!

14.01.2022 For anyone interested in positive reinforcement training Ive finally got my online training set up and ready to go! Im using Patreon to host it, so for anyone who hasnt heard of its a safe website that allows you to join on a monthly basis and cancel any time. There are different tiers starting at $10 USD for basic training that will give you a solid base to start from, and moving up in price to the top tier that covers more complex behaviours and tricks. Videos will be ...added several times a week to keep content fresh and up to date. The link is in the comments

14.01.2022 Its time to get serious about laminitis! Ive been to 5 cases just this week! Laminitis is extremely painful for horses and it is the second biggest killer after colic. ANY horse can get laminitis, from your thin thoroughbred to your miniature lawn mower (that includes donkeys and mules). I repeat ANY horse, they dont have to be obese to founder. ... Symptoms to look for are... Uncomfortable on hard ground Shifting weight from foot to foot when standing on hard ground Shortened stride on hard ground Sore after a trim Digital pulse Heat in the hooves Flattened sole Stretched lamina line Unwilling to pick up feet Rings in the hoof wall Prevention is better than cure. Get your diet and management sorted. Feed a low sugar hay in a slow feed hay net. Soak it to reduce sugar if youre not sure what the sugar content is. Avoid rye, clover, too much Lucerne, get them off the short grass! Short stressed grass is higher in sugar than older longer grass. Grass in shaded paddocks is also lower in sugar. Grazing can be limited to safe times between 3am and 9am, afternoon grazing is the most dangerous time. Track systems are wonderful if you need to lock up as they promote movement. Grazing muzzles are not the devil and can be fantastic if you arent able to remove your horse from the grass. Do NOT starve your obese pony! They need access to hay at all times even if its in a double netted slow feeder to slow them down. Avoid any feed with a combined sugar content over 10% (check NSC, WSC, and starch on the bag). If its not there contact the feed company and ask. Avoid apples, bread, grains, molasses. Remember things like molasses are used in a lot of feeds to make them palatable like molo mix. Safe feeds like beet pulp and soy hulls can be used for weight gain if its needed, and to carry minerals. Remember going on a diet is not about starving the body of nutrients its about bringing it back to health. If your horse is off grass they will need mineral supplementation (mineral licks are not enough and are often high iron and molasses), salt, vitamin E, and omega 3. Contact your hoof care practitioner as soon as you see symptoms to get your horse back on track. If you have an acute case and you horse is lame, laying down a lot, leaning back, or otherwise unwell contact your vet.

13.01.2022 Here's a little (read: long and angry) post about what I like to call the spring time shuffle. Around this time of year, every year, two things happen. 1. We ...get complaints from a handful of (generally predictable) people whose horses have been trimmed just fine for the last several months suddenly saying their horse was "trimmed too short" this last visit. And 2. We get a massive influx of enquiries from new clients who are looking for a new farrier because their last farrier "trimmed them too short". Now, I can understand this logic if you're either new to horses, or this happens on the first visit with a new farrier without warning. However, all the rest of you, need your annual reality check. (I honestly think y'all also need a reality check on realistic "soundness" expectations but I'll save that for another grumpy day). It is the annual shuffling of clients between all the local farriers' books, because the clients don't want to face the real reason why their horse is shuffling around the paddock. No farrier wakes up EVERY NOVEMBER and just randomly starts trimming horses shorter than they did the WHOLE REST OF THE YEAR. Generally we have spent the entire preceding year telling you the one same message while you shout "LALALA" back at us with your fingers in your ears. YOUR HORSE IS TOO FAT! Post-trimming sensitivity is one of the most obvious warning signs that you will get for subclinical laminitis. When this warning is left unchecked, guess what follows? ACTUAL Laminitis. We have become so disconnected as a society as to what healthy and appropriate body weight REALLY is. My masters degree research found that most horse owners could accurately identify their horses body condition score on a on a scare of 0-5 where 5 is obese. Some would even jokingly ask me if they could write 6. However when asked about the appropriateness of their horses body weight most of these high scorers felt their horses body weight was just fine. I see the same thing day in day out as a hoof care practitioner. And the reactions from owners range from flat out denial ("Cobs are meant to look like this, they have big bones" ... Bones don't jiggle Karen!) to just outright offence as though I've personally insulted them or "their horse" or that I am an unkind person for "fat shaming". Your horses feelings aren't hurt. You just don't want to face the truth because it makes you uncomfortable. It is very sad for our horses that being able to see their ribs from a certain angle has now become more offensive to people than seeing the myriad of health and wellbeing issues humans are creating by letting their horses suffer through chronic obesity and a constant state of low grade laminitis. We need to look back to what nature intended for animals (and ourselves). We have an abundance of carb-rich food in spring following the clear lack of food during winter. Wild / Feral horses would typically lose a lot of body condition during winters. They have minimal grass access and often rely on on fibrous and low-carb mosses, roots, leaves, bark, and their body fat reserves. When animals are consuming less carbohydrates they become more insulin sensitive. When you're insulin sensitive you don't need as much insulin in your system to regulate blood sugar. Then spring comes along and body weight is rapidly packed back on with rich grasses. And with constant and excessive consumption of carbs comes insulin resistance. Which means more and more and more insulin has to get produced to keep blood sugar under control. In our domestic horses we're so afraid to let our horses slim down in the winter, and keep them in a chronic state of obesity and insulin resistance year round. Because we hard feed them all winter to maintain their "condition" spring hits and they never became insulin sensitive enough to deal with it. We can also see this insulin resistance in some athletic horses who are fed high carbohydrate diets also - its the horse equivalent of the "skinny-fat" human. The human peak marathon runner who carb loads and gets diabetes and heart disease. Sadly, many of the horses we see with these problems are on "feeding plans" owners have developed themselves using a generic website (often funded by specific feed companies), from vets, or equine nutritionists (who often work for feed companies). You can see the owners well-meaning intent and that's why this breaks my heart. The nutritionists who I respect and recommend are the ones who are the first to tell you that you do not add to your horses diet unless they aren't meeting their metabolic requirements from grass and plain hay first. If I have one more client with a fat, laminitic horse tell me their horse isn't fat and that they paid someone for their feeding plan of processed feeds, I will lose my shit. I am SO passionate about your horses health, that this makes me angry! (And don't get me started on the inflammatory responses from most of these refined oils that get added cause for some reason people think shiny = healthy). And most people (including many professionals) are either ignorant of, or overlook, the roll of insulin on hoof sensitivity. Yet the fact that high levels of insulin lead to inflammation is widely know and accepted. And what IS laminitis? INFLAMMATION OF THE LAMINAE. Your farrier has nothing to financially gain by telling you stop feeding your dadgum horse! Yet we get ignored to the point we often stop commenting to people. And then people say "Why didn't you warn me!?" Then we hit the tail end of spring, and bingo, another year, another bunch of shuffling underworked and over fed horses, and another year of farriers suddenly shuffling a bunch of desperate "my-last-farrier-trimmed-my-horse-too-short-I-need-your-help" new clients in and a bunch of grumpy "you-caused-this-problem" ones out. It is no coincidence that all the species of animals that man controls the diet of are the ones that regularly suffer from metabolic malfunctions. We are so smart that we are incredibly fucking dumb sometimes. I also have a LOT of clients who will ask at each trim if I see any signs of laminitis in the feet. The thing is I can tell you there are low grade warning signs all year but nothing *new* today, and your horse could still go lame tomorrow. The biggest warning signs I constantly see are your horses weight, your feed bucket, and how dry your saddle blanket always is if you bother to exercise your horse at all. But you don't listen to this. You only seem to listen (for a week or three) if I can physically point out blood in the white line. So, here's my rant for the day. We are getting generally shitty with overwork by the end of the year and in need of a christmas holiday, and we are disillusioned with all these "unexpected" lamenesses in valley full of improved dairy pasture in the middle of unprecedented spring growth. It needed to come out. Someone has to say it. I don't give a shit if I've hurt your feelings, because I want to save your horses life.

13.01.2022 When we think of liberty we generally picture a loose horse acting of their own free will, no gear, no restraints. When we think of liberty work or Liberty training we often picture this same scenario but with a human, in a picturesque location, maybe the beach or a large paddock/field. Our beautiful finished training. But how do we get to that beach with our horse off the lead circling us or maybe doing a trick of some sort. Well, the most common way you will be told to s...Continue reading

12.01.2022 Lots of people worry that their horse may be "wasted" so EBTA has produced a guide to help you decide....

12.01.2022 Ollie is so relaxed in his little lock up herd, his self appointed second mum Meren looks after him like her own.

12.01.2022 Next question about training videos.. Do you prefer self paced learning or something more structured with guidance?

12.01.2022 Another one! This is 4 weeks growth on a laminitic pony! People, PLEASE get your horses off the grass and get them on a tighter trim schedule. This pony was in agony!

12.01.2022 To all my wonderful trimming clients, I will still be working at this time but I am having to put some guidelines in place to help keep all of us safe. hors...es must be tied for their trims, youre welcome to hang around and chat (auto correct just told be you can chant, thats fine too) but you must be at least 2 m away while Im working. Im happy to catch your horse with my own halter and lead if you want to leave them in a yard or paddock close by, happy to put them back in the paddock too. Please wear your mask for our appointment. I will have mine on when I get out of the car. I wont be taking cash payments at this time, direct deposit only and pre payment or payment while Im still on the property. I will be washing and disinfecting between properties, please keep things clean for me too. if youre feeling at all sick please contact me ASAP to reschedule or organise for me to catch your horse. I will also be organising an online course for maintenance trimming, so if there is a further lockdown or I am sick, we can still work together to maintain your horses feet. Thank you all, if you have any questions dont hesitate to contact me! Cheers Tanya

11.01.2022 Coby’s first walk under saddle. No worries at all with his positive reinforcement foundation.

10.01.2022 One of the best things you can do with a horse to help them accept touch and build trust is scratches. The horse must be in control and can choose to say no. They must be able to come to you and learn they can ask for how much and where. Here is Cricket getting more and more confident with me touching him, although the setting still has to be right for him to initiate it. You can see him get upset with the dogs and horses behind him.

10.01.2022 Some lovely hoffies that are staring to become more upright and growing better heels, and some of my hoof mud on a thrushy frog.

10.01.2022 Anyone interested in hoof casting here’s a speedy video of putting some on a lovely clients TB, credit to her for the video. We trimmed, applied hoof clay to the frog for thrush control, DIM at the back of the frog and across the heel bulbs for comfort and to prevent rubbing, Elastoplast to hold it all together and something extra for the cast to grip, and then cast over the top. Casts from Innovative Hoof Care Australia. This boy had been quite foot sore and the client reported him 80% improved by the next day!

09.01.2022 New paddock, contented herd :)

09.01.2022 Over the seasonal changes we are having, and considering we just came out of very wet times at current, I'm seeing more problems with seedy toe, cracks and spli...ts.. We as horse owners need to understand, if we are seeing splits, in any form no matter how hairline thin it is, our trim cycles are too long for our horses needs.. We are coming out of the season where the grounds are wet and our horses hooves are soft, the grounds are drying and our horses feet are going through the changes to suit.. Not every horse can make it through the same trim cycle, throughout the entire year, this must be adjusted and varied to suit.. The one thing I find disappointing is the owner will question the trimmer as to why the trimming isn't fixing it, well, in all honesty as the trimmer, we are only there when you are willing to have us out and the horses needs are mixed, this is not on us, we can try to accommodate as best as possible but we are very limited.. I personally do not get splits, seperation, seedy toe infection and abscesses in my horses and haven't done for a couple years now, this is because they are trimmed before the issues can arise, before pathology can set in and before any changes occur that can cause any negative effect.. If I leave my Thoroughbred for 4-5 weeks he gets a fine crack begin, in the toe of his left hind, so I trim no longer than 4 weeks and generally 3 weekly, as that is what he requires as a maximum in reality.. We cannot look at a split and think 'oh, that's always there' because it shouldn't be, and if it is then why? Have you radiographed, is there bone damage? What have you done proactively to find out the cause and treat that, as the current treatment and prevention is clearly not working, or perhaps we are doing something wrong? What information can you give the trimmer that they can consider when setting a plan for your horse? Seedy toe omg, this drives me insane! I remove it, clean it, pack it and remove as much pressure from the area as possible because I know in my heart, by the time I come back, if I don't take as much wall as possible from below that area, that I'll come back and it'll be under pressure again and back in full force in some cases.. Why risk an abscess or bone infection? Why allow infection of the lamina in the first place? This would not happen if the feet where attended to before the issue arises, or attended to more regularly when it does, to stop it and get rid of it.. Why don't people try short cycles and go from there? Ok so 3 weekly is doing great and no dramas are occurring, so try 4 weeks for example, all is good and well so try for 5 weeks now, now we see minor changes that indicate the cycle is too long, so we stick to 4 weeks knowing this is what this horse needs.. Not all horses are the same.. Some horses feet last 9 weeks and look amazing, wear beautifully and maintain balance.. Then it's paddock mate chips and splits, has seperation in the quarters or toe, a run forward foot and crushed heel etc, this horse cannot be placed on the same 9 week cycle for the sake of convenience.. If your horse has seedy toe, splits, seperation or any pathology related to the feet then it's your job to invest in fixing it and preventing it.. Learn how to maintain hooves between trims if you cannot find it financially viable to have your horses seen to before they need it.. If results are not being achieved, and your trimmer isn't guiding you through this then find someone new, until you find someone that's fits your horses needs.. If you don't want to maintain between trims, and do not wish to employ someone to stay on top of things, then do not wonder later 'why is my horse having the problems he is with his feet'. I work for the horses, I'm there for the horses, it breaks my heart at times when I feel I'm the only one who sees what this horse needs and I know I'll never have any hope, I'm limited with what I can do.. I've even gone down the road of offering cheaper trims for shortened schedules, why do I do that? Because I know if I don't, then I won't achieve the results the horse so desperately needs, but I cannot do that anymore.. It rarely changes anything, it doesn't make people think more about the why, and half the time they'll stretch the booking out so it exceeds the time anyway.. It's much harder to sit back though, how can we walk away when one needs us? I've learnt that the owner needs to want that too, I cannot change the world, but if I can make any change I am good with that..
